WHAT DOES THIS LOOK LIKE?
This locally-led, collaborative approach has produced many
positive results for Aucklanders over the past year, such as:
• A collaborative advocacy campaign
resulted in an additional $120
million being allocated to sport and
recreation in Auckland Council’s
10-year Budget. This included a
commitment to a new swimming
pool in the Whau Local Board area,
which was supported by targeted
efforts from Sport Waitakere.
• Increased resources to ActivAsian,
a programme managed by Harbour
Sport and focused on Chinese
people as a target priority group,
saw this initiative extend its reach.
Howick-Pakuranga, one of Sport
Auckland’s CoAs, and areas of
Waitakere now have resourced and
established programmes.
• Growing Coaches workshop at
Papakura Rugby Club run by CLM
Community Sport with student
coaches from Tuakau and Rosehill
Colleges in attendance. Reaching
the target priority group of young
people, this session worked with
schools on coach development.
• Significant work in Māngere,
a CoA in CLM Community Sport’s
remit, with three community
programmes supported through
Aktive’s Target Populations
Innovation & Development Fund,
30 coaches engaged through
Good Sports presentations, and
over 10 different sporting clubs
engaged in the region.
• Harbour Sport’s PolySports, a sport
and recreation holiday programme
for Pacific Island children aged 6
to 12 years, a subset of the target
priority group of young people, had
an impressive participant increase
of 24%.
• Sport Auckland reached
6,237 children through 13
in-school opportunities including
taekwondo, ki-o-rahi, gymnastics,
turbo touch and football.
• Sport Auckland also made a
number of connections building
community capability. This ranged
from developing student leaders
to deliver quality opportunities for
juniors and building a relationship
with ACG Parnell which activated
the school’s facilities for community
use for a programme targeting
Asian families.
• Sport Waitakere delivered a
successful and rewarding Growing
Coaches day for 31 year 10 west
Auckland secondary school girls to
develop their coaching leadership,
and 62,340 Water Skills for Life
lessons to 7,967 primary school
children in Waitakere through the
Greater Auckland Aquatic Action
Plan (GAAAP).
There are many more results of
note, with additional information
and outcomes highlighted in the
various programme snapshots
throughout this report.
“The development of the
Auckland Approach across
the sport and recreation
sector has the potential
to be transformational.”
