MESSAGE FROM AUCKLAND COUNCIL<br />
He pānui nō te Kaunihera ō Tāmaki Makaurau<br />
Our goal is a world-class city where parks, leisure facilities,<br />
sports and recreation programmes are widely available to<br />
everyone. Whether it’s young children or seniors, social sport<br />
or clubs, or leisure and walks in parks, we want people to have<br />
access to a wide range of activities that contribute to healthy,<br />
active lifestyles.<br />
Auckland Council provides 43 leisure and recreation facilities<br />
and 240 sports parks from Rodney to Franklin, often partnering<br />
with community networks and sport and recreation organisations.<br />
In the past year, the council’s commitment has included five facility<br />
partnership projects, seven multi-sport partnerships, and a Regional<br />
Sport and Recreation Grants programme to support increased<br />
participation.The council has also completed 21 Local Board Sport<br />
and Recreation State of Play reports to help with decision-making<br />
at neighbourhood level.<br />
The council worked closely with <strong>Aktive</strong> - Auckland Sport &<br />
Recreation, and engaged with over 75 sports organisations, on<br />
developing the Auckland Sport Sector: Facilities Priorities Plan<br />
– a coordinated, integrated and sector-based approach for<br />
providing future sports facilities.<br />
The council has also worked with <strong>Aktive</strong> on the Community<br />
and School Partnership Project to improve access to sport<br />
and recreation facilities through greater sharing of school<br />
and community assets.<br />
Working with organisations like <strong>Aktive</strong> will help the council<br />
support Aucklanders to develop life-long leisure and sporting<br />
habits that benefit their physical and mental health.<br />
Stephen Town<br />
Chief Executive<br />
Auckland Council
MESSAGE FROM SPORT NEW ZEALAND<br />
He pānui nō Sport New Zealand<br />
Sport New Zealand is working hard to improve<br />
the quality of sport and recreation available to New<br />
Zealanders, particularly our young people.<br />
It’s our belief that quality is the key to young people<br />
getting active and staying active in a world of<br />
competing priorities and technologies.<br />
<strong>Aktive</strong> – Auckland Sport & Recreation is a key partner<br />
for Sport New Zealand, and one that shares our beliefs,<br />
commitment and approach. This is critical, with one<br />
third of our population living in Auckland.<br />
This year <strong>Aktive</strong> has taken major strides forward<br />
in its efforts to ensure quality opportunities are available<br />
for the people of Auckland, and that these opportunities<br />
reflect the dynamics and needs of Auckland’s<br />
many and varied communities.<br />
We believe The Auckland Approach to Community Sport<br />
is a game-changer. Launched by the <strong>Aktive</strong> group this year,<br />
this plan provides a uniform and integrated approach to the<br />
delivery of sport and recreation across the city’s sporting<br />
regions. It’s focussed on local solutions for local needs<br />
and will, we believe, get more investment to the<br />
grassroots and get more young Aucklanders active.<br />
I congratulate <strong>Aktive</strong>’s board and management<br />
on the steps they have taken this year to reposition<br />
the organisation for a more positive future for<br />
sport and recreation in our biggest city.<br />
Peter Miskimmin<br />

Message<br />
from the Chair<br />
and CEO<br />
He pānui nō te Heamana<br />
me te Kaiwhakahaere Matua<br />
The <strong>2016</strong>/<strong>17</strong> year has seen significant steps by <strong>Aktive</strong> and its key<br />
delivery partners over this period – Harbour Sport, Sport Auckland,<br />
Counties Manukau Sport and Sport Waitakere – towards the<br />
shared vision for Auckland to be the world’s most active city. It<br />
can also be marked by three words – interesting, inspiring and<br />
invigorating.<br />
Raewyn Lovett<br />
Chair – <strong>Aktive</strong><br />
A critical aspect of this vision has been completed and launched;<br />
namely, The Auckland Approach to Community Sport. Co-created<br />
with our Regional Sports Trust partners, Sport New Zealand,<br />
Auckland Council and health and education providers, the strategy<br />
represents a consistent and scalable community sport system.<br />
The focus is to provide Auckland a world-class community sports<br />
system. How? Put simply, community by community; a message<br />
that has been shared with various stakeholders including national<br />
and regional sports organisations.<br />
From a performance perspective, it is pleasing to note Sport<br />
New Zealand’s positive comments around the considerable<br />
commitment and effort to develop and roll out The Auckland<br />
Approach to Community Sport. This includes understanding<br />
that the result is a shared vision with aligned regional and local<br />
planning across Auckland for the very first time. Along with<br />
reference to the important strategic role <strong>Aktive</strong> plays in New<br />
Zealand’s sport system, Sport New Zealand’s annual review of<br />
<strong>Aktive</strong> has given us confidence and encouragement to progress<br />
Auckland-wide planning.<br />
This is boosted by an increase of $1.5<br />
million from up-stream funders, taking<br />
investment in Auckland to a new high<br />
of over $11 million*, and advancing all<br />

CEO – <strong>Aktive</strong>
<strong>Aktive</strong> <strong>Summary</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2016</strong>/20<strong>17</strong> 9<br />
parts of the system and partners.<br />
Making a tangible benefit for<br />
communities, we are committed to<br />
complete transparency to where this<br />
and all monies are spent, as shown<br />
in the funding allocation summary<br />
available on our website.<br />
<strong>Aktive</strong>’s Shared Services and Procurement continues to go<br />
from strength to strength, now having taken over $1 million<br />
back office savings out of the sector. This is money that can<br />
be and is reinvested back into the grass roots of sport and<br />
recreation.<br />
The launch of a new service for the sector, the Chairs’<br />
Roundtable series, focuses on improving governance<br />
capability. There has also been strong progress with innovative<br />
programmes such as Good Sports, HERA – Everyday<br />
Goddess, TLC (Talent, Leadership & Character) and Coach<br />
Evolve, along with the ongoing facilitation of Sport New Zealand<br />
programmes Pathway to Podium and Performance Coach<br />
Advance.<br />
This performance has been acknowledged in the stakeholder<br />
survey of <strong>Aktive</strong>’s operations, noting greater access to<br />
resources, improved performance and increased sector<br />
support and collaboration as key highlights. We look forward to<br />
building on this with further engagement with our stakeholders.<br />
Partnerships are invaluable to the work of <strong>Aktive</strong>. We are<br />
pleased to have signed three Regional Sports Trusts to deliver<br />
The Auckland Approach to Community Sport – Harbour Sport,<br />
Sport Auckland and Sport Waitakere, now joined by CLM<br />
and College Sport who in 20<strong>17</strong>/18 will roll out the strategy for<br />
the benefit of the communities and high schools of Counties<br />
Manukau. We are working collaboratively with these partners to<br />
support them to empower their respective local communities.<br />
We also work closely with other partners on projects such as<br />
the ‘Believe You Can’ Leadership Day with iSport Foundation<br />
– we are proud that this event was recognised as joint winner<br />
of the New Zealand Recreation Association Outstanding Event<br />
Award <strong>2016</strong>. Another significant partnership is the Greater<br />
Auckland Aquatic Action Plan (GAAAP) managed by <strong>Aktive</strong> and<br />
Water Safety New Zealand and funded by Sport New Zealand,<br />
Foundation North and Water Safety New Zealand. Since its<br />
inception in 2011, GAAAP has provided 840,000 free Swim<br />
& Survive lessons to 87,632 young people, targeted towards<br />
decile 1-6 schools.<br />
<strong>Aktive</strong> is privileged to have a seat<br />
on the advocacy groups OneVoice<br />
and Healthy Auckland Together<br />
(HAT). Our partnerships are further<br />
underpinned by working groups<br />
in the vital strategic focal areas of<br />
Young People, Spaces & Places,<br />
Targeted Populations, Sector<br />
Development, and Coaching & Talent<br />
Development, all backed by insights.<br />
<strong>Aktive</strong> is supported by strong, stable governance. This was<br />
further strengthened over this period with the Selection and<br />
Performance Committee’s appointment of David Tse as a<br />
new board member. The Board and Executive has also been<br />
supported by Subcommittees and the <strong>Aktive</strong> Māori Advisory<br />
Group, Coaching & Talent Development Advisory Group,<br />
Regional KiwiSport Advisory Group, Tertiary Advisory Group,<br />
Aquatics Advisory Group and project-specific steering groups<br />
for Good Sports and HERA – Everyday Goddess. These groups<br />
have helped to introduce a whole new series of connections<br />
across community and sporting organisations in Auckland.<br />
A crucial feature of <strong>Aktive</strong> is its<br />
people – a group small in number,<br />
but big on talent, expertise and<br />
commitment. We would like to<br />
acknowledge and thank them for<br />
all their hard work. We would also<br />
like to thank all our commercial<br />
partners from the past year – Holden,<br />
2Degrees, Fairfax Media, Simpson<br />
Grierson, Sheffield and Ricoh; as well<br />
as our sector partners – AUT, AUT<br />
Millennium Institute of Sport, Massey<br />
University, Unitec, Bruce Pulman Park<br />
and the iSPORT Foundation. Like<br />
us, these partners are committed to<br />
improving participation levels<br />
in Auckland.<br />
Furthermore, we would like to express sincere thanks to the<br />
up-stream stakeholders who show such confidence in <strong>Aktive</strong><br />
and our approach to Auckland. These include Sport New<br />
Zealand, High Performance Sport New Zealand, Auckland<br />
Council, Water Safety New Zealand, Foundation North, the<br />
New Zealand Community Trust and the Lion Foundation. We<br />
would also like to recognise our much-valued delivery agents<br />
and sector partners – driving results in local communities is<br />
dependent on their input. Finally, we would like to acknowledge<br />
the <strong>Aktive</strong> Board for its strategic guidance – as always this is<br />
much appreciated and respected.<br />

GOVERNANCE<br />
Mana whakahaere<br />
<strong>Aktive</strong> is governed by a seven-member Board, chaired by<br />
Raewyn Lovett ONZM and supported by trustees Graham<br />
Child, Eru Lyndon, Peter Meehan, Helen Robinson,<br />
Jo Wiggins and David Tse who all bring a wealth of sport,<br />
business and governance experience to the table.<br />
An audit and risk subcommittee, chaired by Peter<br />
Meehan, meets on a bimonthly basis and a health & safety<br />
subcommittee, chaired by Jo Wiggins, and commercial<br />
subcommittee, chaired by Helen Robinson, meet quarterly.<br />
A step-change for Community Sport Strategy<br />
in Auckland<br />
There were two significant strategic developments approved<br />
by the <strong>Aktive</strong> Board in <strong>2016</strong>/<strong>17</strong>. The first, following a review,<br />
was the decision to upweight <strong>Aktive</strong>’s capability in spaces and<br />
places, targeted populations and insights, with the addition of<br />
three new roles.<br />
The Board then oversaw the development of a signature<br />
new strategy to increase young Aucklanders’ participation<br />
and physical activity levels. Called The Auckland Approach<br />
to Community Sport, and co-designed with Regional Sports<br />
Trusts and the sector, it is Auckland’s unique response to<br />
addressing declining participation and physical activity levels.<br />
In a first, it has created an interlinking series of regional<br />
“blueprint” plans, informed by national and regional strategies<br />
and priorities for Young People, Spaces & Places, Coaching<br />
& Talent Development, Sector Development and Collaborative<br />
Advocacy. These regional plans are in turn informed by local<br />
Community of Activity plans, owned by Regional Sports Trusts<br />
and other delivery partners, which are heavily influenced by the<br />
input of the targeted communities themselves.<br />
This targeting of communities, the focus on listening to their<br />
needs and then building others’ capability to deliver sustainable<br />
initiatives, represents a step-change in how <strong>Aktive</strong> and its<br />
partners are increasing participation levels in Auckland.<br />
Risk<br />
<strong>Aktive</strong>’s Board takes seriously its obligation to identify<br />
and manage potential risk to the organisation and the wider<br />
sector. A risk register and a health and safety report form<br />
part of every meeting agenda. <strong>Aktive</strong> has taken a lead role in<br />
adopting and providing a health and safety policy that meets<br />
the requirements of the health and safety legislation, and in<br />
ensuring its delivery partners understand their obligations.<br />
Communication<br />
The <strong>Aktive</strong> Board believes in fostering relationships<br />
and engagement through transparent communication<br />
with stakeholders and delivery partners.<br />
Regular meetings are held with the chairs of Regional Sports<br />
Trusts and other providers, including reciprocal invitations to<br />
attend Board meetings. At a broader level, major stakeholders<br />
such as Sport New Zealand and Auckland Council regularly<br />
attend <strong>Aktive</strong> board meetings. Supplementing these two<br />
primary channels are one-on-one meetings with stakeholders<br />
along with the distribution of key stakeholder reports, papers<br />
and memoranda.<br />
Advisory Groups<br />
<strong>Aktive</strong> has a strategic priority to work collaboratively and<br />
align with a broad range of central government and regional<br />
stakeholders. Consistent with this, a number of advisory<br />
groups have been formed, with experts volunteering to serve<br />
as follows:<br />
<strong>Aktive</strong> Māori Advisory Group<br />
The past year has seen <strong>Aktive</strong>’s Māori Advisory Group (AMAG)<br />
go through a review of its Terms of Reference. New members<br />
joined with the appointments of Ayla Hoeta and Mace Ward to<br />
the group. As a Youth Innovator in the south Auckland area,<br />
Ayla brings a youthful perspective to AMAG, while Mace Ward,<br />
as General Manager of Auckland Council’s Parks Sport and<br />
Recreation division accepted an invitation to join as an<br />
ex-officio member.<br />
The past year has included overseeing the development of a<br />
plan to prepare <strong>Aktive</strong> for strategic planning in early 2018. A<br />
key platform for the plan is to grow the understanding of the<br />
important bi-cultural foundations of Tāmaki Makaurau/Auckland<br />
in an increasingly multi-ethnic population. Three focus areas<br />
of the plan are to continue to support He Oranga Poutama<br />
delivering to its outcomes through the transition from Sport<br />
Waitakere to <strong>Aktive</strong>; strengthen workforce cultural competency<br />
of <strong>Aktive</strong> Group; and strengthen engagement and relationships<br />
with Māori entities to enable stronger strategic planning<br />
discussions.<br />
AMAG provided advice to the Sport Facilities Prioritisation<br />
project and appointed a member to the Auckland Investors’<br />
Forum. This year also saw the fruition of its contribution<br />
to World Masters Games planning come to light in the<br />
contributions during key procedures, events and ceremonies<br />
of the games on the world stage.<br />

MORE AUCKLANDERS MORE ACTIVE<br />
To enable more Aucklanders to be more active, we need to<br />
achieve greater value for every dollar invested as well as<br />
attract greater investment into a sector that’s important to<br />
both the regional economy and New Zealand’s sport and<br />
recreation sector.<br />
Coordination and leadership from <strong>Aktive</strong> has not only brought<br />
more investment, but also more collaboration across the sector,<br />
with successful local projects rolled out into other parts of<br />
Auckland and successful region-wide initiatives launched to<br />
address issues and opportunities facing the entire region.<br />
Allocation of Investment Funds<br />
<strong>Aktive</strong> invested more than $10 million on behalf of its key<br />
strategic funders last year for community sport delivery,<br />
strategic leadership and regional service that reflects a number<br />
of interlinking strategies. These include the sector’s Auckland<br />
Sport & Recreation Strategic Action Plan, Sport New Zealand’s<br />
Community Sport strategy, Water Safety New Zealand’s Water<br />
Safety Sector Strategy and <strong>Aktive</strong>’s strategic plan. <strong>Aktive</strong>’s<br />
investment process ensures that delivery agents’ KPIs line up<br />
side by side to expand results on the ground.<br />
To follow are highlights of the work performed for Auckland’s<br />
communities and the sport and recreation sector<br />
by <strong>Aktive</strong> and our delivery partners in the <strong>2016</strong>/<strong>17</strong> year.<br />
“The formation of a partnership between<br />
New Zealand Rugby and <strong>Aktive</strong> has been<br />
a positive step in achieving our Wider<br />
Auckland goals. We now have the ability<br />
to make real advances in improving<br />
club capability and facility planning and<br />
strategy through collaboratively working<br />
together.”<br />

HIGHLIGHTS FROM DELIVERY PARTNERS<br />
College Sport<br />
College Sport Auckland’s school membership increased by<br />
three schools in 20<strong>17</strong>, reaching a total of 110 membership<br />
schools. In the past year more than 65,000 students competed<br />
in College Sport Auckland one off tournaments or weekly<br />
competitions.<br />
Working closely with over 40 Regional Sport Organisations to<br />
deliver a range of sporting activities for Auckland Secondary<br />
School students, 20<strong>17</strong> saw College Sport take over the running<br />
of Auckland Secondary Schools rugby in partnership with the<br />
Auckland Rugby Union. In 2018, we would like to extend this<br />
partnership to include Secondary School Rugby in the Counties<br />
Manukau and North Harbour Rugby Provincial Unions.<br />
At the core of College Sport Auckland is the intention<br />
‘to provide consistent quality sport competitions, events<br />
and leadership for the greater Auckland Secondary Schools.<br />
To embrace existing and new relationships to ensure the<br />
sporting experience is accessible, affordable and rewarding.’<br />
One of the biggest challenges for schools is dealing with both<br />
the time and cost of transporting students across the wider<br />
Auckland region. With that in mind, we are looking at zonal<br />
competitions in the lower grades, while also developing wider<br />
Auckland competitions in the elite grades.<br />
A review of bylaws and sanctioned sports was carried out<br />
in the second part of <strong>2016</strong>. As a guide, we now require a<br />
minimum of 20 schools or 200 competitors to be involved in<br />
the sporting activity for it to be sanctioned. We will continue<br />
to consult with schools and Regional Sport Organisations<br />
on an annual basis to decided if we sanction new sports<br />
or remove others. As a prelude to our bylaws, we have<br />
introduced an Integrity Statement that outlines the values<br />
we see as vital to sport in schools; honesty, respect and<br />
fair play. As part of our Strategic Plan, the board will now<br />
review bylaws on a three-year cycle and make changes<br />
based on robust evidence and data. We will continue to<br />
survey our members on any proposed bylaw changes.<br />
It has been great to work with <strong>Aktive</strong>, Auckland Council,<br />
Sport New Zealand and the Auckland Regional Sports<br />
Trusts on the Young People’s Plan for Auckland. Only<br />
through collaboration and partnership can we provide<br />
quality sporting opportunities and experiences for all our<br />
Auckland young people.
20 <strong>Aktive</strong> <strong>Summary</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2016</strong>/20<strong>17</strong><br />
Counties Manukau<br />
The <strong>2016</strong>/20<strong>17</strong> year marked continual developments in<br />
the Counties Manukau area, with a firm focus to increase<br />
engagement in sport and recreation in people’s lives and local<br />
communities.<br />
Sport New Zealand research shows a 7.7% drop in national<br />
adult participation between 1998 and 2014. This decline was<br />
noticeably profound among Māori (down 8.8%) and Pasifika<br />
(down 11.4%), communities which are particularly concentrated<br />
in South Auckland. As such, the need for empowerment of<br />
the region and the people who live there to uptake sport and<br />
recreation is critical to work towards reversing these statistics.<br />
<strong>Aktive</strong>’s responsibility is to work with delivery partners to<br />
support them in building capability and developing key<br />
participation initiatives in local communities, including Counties<br />
Manukau. Given our responsibility for the investment of public<br />
funds through delivery partners, results are imperative.<br />
In the last three financial years, <strong>Aktive</strong> has significantly<br />
increased direct local investment resulting in an increase per<br />
capita investment in to the Counties Manukau area. Increases<br />
in investment have resulted in traction, encouraging results and<br />
success stories emerging from the region, including:<br />
• Eight out of 16 community providers that received Targeted<br />
Populations Group funding from <strong>Aktive</strong> ran initiatives in<br />
the Counties Manukau area, benefiting a number of local<br />
communities<br />
• 32 local sport and recreation organisations received funding<br />
through the local KiwiSport fund, totaling $998,336. Projects<br />
funded from previous years and <strong>2016</strong>/20<strong>17</strong> KiwiSport<br />
funding have supporting the following in Counties Manukau:<br />
- A total of 7,775 hours of delivery to a total of 336,693<br />
children aged 5-18 years<br />
- Of these children, 50% were male and 50% were female<br />
- 3% of delivery has been in secondary schools, with 97%<br />
in primary schools.<br />
• 2616 participants received <strong>17</strong>,349 swimming lessons<br />
under GAAAP<br />
• 50 students involved in the <strong>Aktive</strong>-led Talent, Leadership,<br />
Character (TLC) programme, including players from<br />
Southern Cross Campus’ 1st XV Girls Rugby Team which<br />
went on to win the Auckland competition for the fourth year<br />
running<br />
• Delivery of 653 sessions of non-curriculum primary school<br />
sport in 28 schools in the region by Counties Manukau Sport<br />
• 15 Pathway to Podium athletes come from the Counties<br />
Manukau region<br />
• Through Counties Manukau Sport, 26 coaches club<br />
modules were delivered to 345 coaches, including 137<br />
new coaches<br />
• Several Counties Manukau organisations engaged as part<br />
of HERA – Everyday Goddess, including Papatoetoe High<br />
School, Otahuhu College and Papatoetoe Cricket, as well<br />
as a 12-week HERA – Everyday Goddess programme run at<br />
the Otahuhu Recreation Centre.<br />
With the roll out of The Auckland Approach to Community<br />
Sport strategy, we look forward to continuing to support the<br />
Counties Manukau area through our delivery partners. The<br />
new approach to sport and recreation brings to the forefront<br />
listening to local communities and working with them on local<br />
solutions to get more of their people active.<br />

Harbour Sport<br />
With a vision of ‘a community physically active for life’, Harbour<br />
Sport is committed to supporting community development for<br />
sport and healthy lifestyles. With a strategic focus on young<br />
people, targeted populations, Maori, Pasifika and East Asians,<br />
Harbour Sport has been able to see some real changes in<br />
people’s lives and local communities as they become more<br />
active and engaged in sport and recreation.<br />
Harbour Sport was the winner of the New Zealand Secondary<br />
Schools Sports Council Innovation in School Award in 20<strong>17</strong><br />
and the New Zealand Recreation Association Outstanding<br />
Community Recreation Programme in <strong>2016</strong> for SportSPasifik.<br />
SportSPasifik provides a multi faceted approach to servicing the<br />
Pasifika community. Through PolySports holiday programme,<br />
349 Pasifika children participated in fun games and activities<br />
and healthy eating nutritional messages. Through the Equip’d<br />
programme, a further 95 Pasifika teenage girls have participated<br />
in sports skills, fitness, mentoring and nutrition. NiuMovement<br />
provided for 10 families and 45 participants with whole family<br />
sessions including physical activity, exercise sessions and<br />
nutritional education.<br />
The ActivAsian volunteer programme encourages young<br />
people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds to<br />
participate in sport through volunteering. This saw 180 people<br />
register and volunteer at 27 events. Weekly walks around the<br />
North Shore promote regular physical activity and introduce<br />
new migrants to parks, reserves and facilities, with an average<br />
of 30 participants per walk. Spike Spin Smash provides another<br />
opportunity through a weekly drop in social sport session<br />
targeted at secondary school students and young adults,<br />
averaging 40 participants per week.<br />
Ensuring primary school teachers have capability in providing<br />
high quality physical education and physical literacy sessions<br />
with fun, quality experiences will set young people up for a<br />
lifelong love of physical activity. Harbour Sport delivered to<br />
576 teachers and 62 student teachers.<br />
Through the Coach Sport Initiative (CSI), we have seen the<br />
power of quality coaching and the impact strong coaching<br />
leadership can have on improving sports participation and wider<br />
community links. CSI has delivered to 12 secondary schools<br />
and 15 primary schools, with five coaching leaders working<br />
in the community. There were 378 coaches developed with<br />
7,447 athletes impacted.<br />
Supporting sport and recreation organisations at a number<br />
of levels to deliver and maintain a quality sport system in our<br />
region is engendered by good governance, good practice<br />
and continuous improvement. Harbour Sport has worked<br />
with nine Regional Sport Organisations and a number<br />
of their clubs, focusing on strategic planning, volunteer<br />
management, organisational structure development and club<br />
capability. Identification and sharing of good practice ensures<br />
organisations take a holistic approach to foster and develop<br />
quality, sustainable programmes, strong partnerships and<br />
effective collaborations, benefitting the whole community.<br />

Sport Auckland<br />
This year was the second year of implementation of<br />
our 2015-2018 Strategic Plan. Against the backdrop of<br />
‘Inspiring our communities to live healthy active lifestyles’<br />
we channelled our resources toward our communities<br />
with high needs. With a strong alignment to Sport New<br />
Zealand’s Community Sport Plan and the <strong>Aktive</strong>-led<br />
Auckland Approach to Community Sport, our work this<br />
year had an emphasis on developing strong links between<br />
schools and community organisations as we look to create<br />
accessible and regular opportunities for young people.<br />
Within these communities we have continued to deliver<br />
products and services with a focus particularly on targeted<br />
populations with low participation rates in physical activity<br />
and sport; in building community sport capability across our<br />
region; and delivering health and wellness programmes on<br />
behalf of the Auckland District Health Board and Counties<br />
Manakau District Health Board.<br />
We have had many successes along the way, including the<br />
opening of the Grey Lynn Pump Track project and the Skate<br />
Board project in Grey Lynn.<br />
Both of these community-led projects highlight the role<br />
Regional Sports Trusts play as change agents in our<br />
communities. Collaboration, alignment and partnering are<br />
key ingredients to our successes. With that in mind we were<br />
encouraged to receive the results of the Sport New Zealand<br />
stakeholder survey where 74% of our stakeholders felt we<br />
collaborate well and 76% felt that our overall performance<br />
as a partner was either good, very good or excellent.<br />
Our work directly, or indirectly, impacted on 20,000 primary<br />
school students and 29 secondary schools. We delivered<br />
Professional Development sessions to early childhood teachers<br />
and tertiary students, and over 10 club capability workshops<br />
were held for our stakeholders. In-depth capability build<br />
work was also conducted with 20 sporting organisations.<br />
Programmes such as TLC, Coach Evolve, HERA – Everyday<br />
Goddess, Good Sports, GAAAP and Growing Leaders were<br />
delivered to our communities; and Local Board submissions<br />
were made to our seven Local Boards’ Long Term Plans. We<br />
successfully led a joint tender with Auckland Council to the<br />
Auckland District Health Board for the Green Prescription and<br />
Active Families contracts. Over 11,300 Green Prescription<br />
referrals were serviced.<br />
We remain committed to our partnership with <strong>Aktive</strong> and look<br />
forward to continuing to deliver The Auckland Approach to<br />
Community Sport. Through this we can foster more<br />
locally-led and locally tailored community programmes aimed<br />
at increasing participation in physical activity and sport in our<br />
local communities.<br />

Sport Waitakere<br />
<strong>2016</strong>/20<strong>17</strong> has seen great developments in the West<br />
Auckland region, from the redesign of our wider leadership<br />
programmes, exponential growth in KiwiSport delivery through<br />
to the successful delivery of multiple workshops for a variety of<br />
community groups.<br />
In the leadership space, Sport Waitakere redeveloped the<br />
existing Growing Leaders Programme to have a greater West<br />
Auckland focused approach. Now called ‘Nga Kaea Mo Apopo’<br />
(Leaders of Tomorrow), the focus is on the core tenets of<br />
the ancestral leaders of West Auckland who are depicted on<br />
the Pou at Arataki visitor centre. Although the content of the<br />
existing Growing Leaders Programme hasn’t changed, the<br />
context within which it is delivered has evolved to be locally<br />
and culturally meaningful.<br />
KiwiSport has seen over 11,000 ‘Young Westies’ receiving<br />
quality sport and physical activity opportunities, which has<br />
leveraged in excess of $400,000 on top of the initial KiwiSport<br />
investment. Add to this a myriad of workshops and professional<br />
development opportunities, run in the community by the<br />
Healthy Families Waitakere team and Sport Waitakere, every<br />
corner of our region has been touched.<br />
Healthy Families Waitakere has shifted gear and ramped up<br />
activation of leadership in our community over this last year. We<br />
are extremely privileged to work alongside amazing community<br />
leaders, organisations and stakeholders to lead sustainable<br />
change across a variety of settings including early childhood,<br />
schools and kura, workplaces, sport clubs, pacific churches,<br />
marae and community settings. These collective approaches<br />
have led to many organisations prioritising healthy food and<br />
drink policies and guidelines, many schools promoting and<br />
supporting water as the best choice through improved policies<br />
and practices as well as drinking fountain infrastructure, and<br />
sports clubs exploring ways to provide greater community<br />
outcomes such as starting playgroups or family activity<br />
programmes in their facilities.<br />
Furthermore, Sport Waitakere has been key to the fast tracking<br />
of some long sought after facility development including<br />
Glenora Rugby League Club obtaining a long term lease ratified<br />
by Auckland Council and supporting the next stages of the<br />
redevelopment of the Waitemata Table Tennis facility at Parrs<br />
Park. Both of these projects have sat with the clubs without<br />
significant progress for over three years. With direct intervention<br />
and guidance from Sport Waitakere, both have now progressed<br />
substantially.<br />
Moving forward, the Communities of Activity aspect of The<br />
Auckland Approach to Community Sport will start to truly focus<br />
some of the work we do, and most importantly really drive<br />
positive local change in some of our areas which need it<br />
the most.<br />
Sport Waitakere looks forward to working with our community<br />
in the year ahead, and to continue striving for our vision of<br />
‘everyone connected, healthy and active.’<br />

Water Skills for Life. Water Skills For Life has a greater<br />
emphasis on teaching water safety skills prior to stroke and<br />
distance focused swimming skills, as well as exposure to a<br />
range of aquatic environments. <strong>Aktive</strong> has been working<br />
with Water Safety New Zealand, Swimming New Zealand<br />
and providers to roll out Water Skills For Life across all<br />
GAAAP Schools.<br />
<strong>Aktive</strong> is appreciative of the significant funding and<br />
administrative support given to GAAAP by Foundation North,<br />
Sport New Zealand’s KiwiSport, Water Safety New Zealand,<br />
Counties Manukau Sport, Harbour Sport, Sport Auckland<br />
and Sport Waitakere.<br />
<strong>2016</strong>/<strong>17</strong> highlights include:<br />
• 137,056 individual lessons delivered<br />
• 21,393 students received GAAAP swimming lessons<br />
• 348 teachers received training and poolside support<br />
to deliver water safety education<br />
• 220 teachers upskilled in Water Skills For Life<br />
• $580,000 renewed investment from Foundation North<br />
and Water Safety New Zealand.<br />
“Many of our students would not<br />
be able to get this valuable learning<br />
opportunity if it was not for the funding<br />
and lessons at our school. Almost all<br />
our students have gained confidence<br />
in water and have learnt to keep afloat.<br />
The organisation of the lessons and the<br />
friendly instructors kept our students<br />
motivated and they are all keen and<br />
looking forward to future lessons. During<br />
our end of year trip to Parakai Pools we<br />
are seeing more students confidently<br />
going into the water.”<br />
Kamrul Jalil, Massey Primary School<br />
“Our aspiration at Water Safety New<br />
Zealand is that every New Zealand child<br />
has the opportunity to develop water<br />
safety knowledge and survival skills.<br />
<strong>Aktive</strong> plays a huge part in enabling<br />
this and is a valued Auckland partner in<br />
managing a coordinated approach to<br />
deliver the Greater Auckland Aquatic<br />
Action Plan (GAAAP). This gives us a<br />
wide reaching platform to deliver our<br />
Water Skills or Life initiative to 5-13 year<br />
old kids within the Auckland region.<br />
It’s a great partnership and we look<br />
forward to continuing our close<br />
relationship this year for the benefit of<br />
Kiwi kids and the wider community.”<br />

Hera – Everyday Goddess is a pilot project with a holistic<br />
approach, aimed at empowering girls aged 10-18 years<br />

and informal sport and recreation. The project has a<br />
participant-led focus with the needs and wants of the<br />
participant at the centre of all activities.<br />
To empower girls, first there must be a shift in the approach<br />
that sport and recreation providers take to engaging girls.<br />
20<strong>17</strong>/16 saw the beginning of the curation of case studies<br />
and resources that will be made available to the sector as a<br />
tool kit to support the needed shift in thinking.<br />

Good Sports is a pilot culture change project that seeks<br />
to educate key influencers in children’s sport - parents,<br />
coaches, teachers and sport administrators, on how to<br />
create positive sporting experiences, encourage life-long<br />
participation and ultimately a love of sport in children.<br />
Good Sports aims to achieve culture change in three ways:<br />
1 Train and support Good Sports Developers as change<br />
agents to deliver reflective Good Sports Community<br />
Workshops to adult influencers of children’s sport<br />
2 Develop sector and public resources that align to Good<br />
Sports philosophy<br />
3 Public messaging campaigns.<br />

STAKEHOLDER ALIGNMENT & SECTOR DEVELOPMENT<br />
<strong>Aktive</strong> continued its focus of regional leadership<br />
development through initiatives aimed at chairs of National<br />
and Regional Sport Organisations’ boards in Auckland. Two<br />
Chairs Roundtable sessions run in association with strategic<br />
partners Simpson Grierson and Sheffield, and with the<br />
support of Sport New Zealand, featured leading chairs and<br />
directors with sports experience. These were supported by<br />
bespoke Leadership in Sport courses, written by Sheffield,<br />
attended by 15 sports leaders. Legal issues for National<br />
Sport Organisations and Regional Sport Organisations were<br />
highlighted in a free legal clinic and seminar hosted and run<br />
by Simpson Grierson.<br />
The Auckland Approach to Community Sport Sector<br />
Development Regional Delivery Plan was created by a<br />
working group, involving Sport New Zealand, Auckland<br />
Council, National Sports Organisation and Regional Sport<br />
Organisation representatives, and Regional Sports Trust<br />
Partners. Implementation is now being directed by the<br />
Sector Development Action Group.<br />
The <strong>Aktive</strong> Sector Development team went from one<br />
to three positions, including one role part-funded by<br />
New Zealand Rugby, focused on club capability and<br />
facility development as part of its Wider Auckland Strategy,<br />
sitting in <strong>Aktive</strong>. That role is driving a capability improvement<br />
stream for rugby across Auckland.<br />
The Volunteer Action Plan project report was received in<br />
late <strong>2016</strong>, and challenges us to devote specific resource<br />
to volunteering in sport, a project which will be continued<br />
in 20<strong>17</strong>/18.<br />
Regional Sports Trusts Partners continued to offer capability<br />
development at sub-regional level with direct one-on-one<br />
assistance and collective sessions on strategic planning,<br />
finance, sponsorship and volunteer management for<br />
Regional Sport Organisations and clubs.<br />
Back office alignment (shared services)<br />
The coordination of the shared services approach to<br />
administration across <strong>Aktive</strong> and the Regional Sports Trusts<br />
bore even more fruit, as expected, after the initial savings.<br />
The group has seen a reduction by almost a third in the ratio<br />
of the administration costs as a proportion of income since<br />
shared services was set up.<br />
A focus of efficiency and value for money sees the overall cost<br />
of <strong>Aktive</strong>’s administration run at just 6% of total income.<br />
Notably though, the value of the approach has been<br />
recognised by Regional and National Sport Organisations<br />
outside <strong>Aktive</strong>’s immediate sphere with 15 organisations<br />
now having utilised 51 different services within <strong>Aktive</strong> Shared<br />
Services and Procurement’s offering, enabling over $1 million<br />
to date of realisable savings to their operational costs – money<br />
able to be reinvested into sport at the grassroots.<br />
That success has been achieved through reduced duplication,<br />
improved economies of scale and increased buying power.<br />
Discussions are underway with a further 19 entities (including<br />
Regional and National Sport Organisations) to take advantage<br />
of <strong>Aktive</strong> Shared Service and Procurement in the 20<strong>17</strong>/18<br />
financial year.<br />
Coaching & Talent Development<br />
The <strong>Aktive</strong> Coaching & Talent Development team, in<br />
conjunction with its Regional Sports Trusts delivery partners,<br />
has continued to build a systematic approach to coach<br />
and athlete development delivery as part of The Auckland<br />
Approach to Community Sport. By engaging with sporting<br />
organisations, coaches, teachers, parents and athletes,<br />
a new co-designed Strategic Coaching plan is now in place<br />
until 2020.<br />
The plan primarily focuses on the needs of young people and<br />
ensures capability build across all three coaching communities<br />
– Foundation, Development and Performance, to drive and<br />
sustain positive behaviour change within local participation<br />
communities. In addition, a key focus of the coaching plan is<br />
to deliver initiatives that target young girls aged 10-18 years<br />
old, Māori, Pacific Island and Indian ethnicities within local<br />
communities in order to greater drive participation through<br />
quality experiences.<br />
Over the past year we can report that through the six<br />
programmes embedded within The Auckland Approach to<br />
Community Sport, 460 development opportunities were<br />
provided for 3,800 coaches, and directly and indirectly more<br />
than 34,000 sport participants experienced a more positive<br />
sporting environment as a result. It was also pleasing to note<br />
that, in its annual review, Sport New Zealand has rated the<br />
coaching system within Auckland as world class for a third<br />
consecutive year.

SPACES & PLACES<br />
<strong>Aktive</strong> led the sector’s engagement in the Auckland Sports<br />
Sector: Facilities Priorities Plan. The project involved eight<br />
workshops with the sector across the year in conjuction with<br />
Local Board and major facility sessions. The final report and<br />
the methodology for prioritising major investment in individual<br />
codes will help advise funding decisions by Auckland Council<br />
and other funding sources moving forward.<br />
<strong>Aktive</strong> with Auckland Council, Sport New Zealand and the<br />
Ministry of Education, is part of the Community and Sport<br />
Partnerships project to establish protocols and good practice<br />
around unlocking school facilities for community use.<br />

investments for shared use.<br />
Late in the year work commenced on a second hugely<br />
important piece for Auckland, an Indoor Courts Facility Plan.<br />
<strong>Aktive</strong> again leads engagement with the major codes utilising<br />
indoor court space where a shortfall in capacity is hindering<br />
growth in participation.<br />
<strong>Aktive</strong> has facilitated, chaired or participated in Auckland<br />
community sport or facility planning and implementation,<br />
for Netball, Rugby, League, Golf, Basketball, Hockey and<br />
Tennis. In each, a planned approach to facility development<br />
