Auckland
Tāmaki Makaurau
The world’s most active city
Te tāone ngangahau rawa o te ao
Our vision is for Auckland to be the world’s
most active city. This is founded in our belief
that everyone has the right to an active life,
free from barriers that limit access to and
participation in sport, play and active recreation.
The evidence is clear that being
physically active has a positive effect
on society, improving the wellbeing
of people and communities and
contributing to the hauora (health
and wellbeing) of our young people.
Participation in sport, play and active
recreation leads to:
• Healthier bodies: Improved
individual and community health
• Healthier minds: Improved
educational achievement and
mental wellbeing
• Stronger communities:
Increased social connection and
enhanced community wellbeing
• A stronger economy:
More productive employees and
economic benefits from a strong
sport and active recreation sector.
Auckland is a great place to live,
work and play. It’s one of the world’s
most liveable cities and is a place
where people have a wide variety of
opportunities to be physically active
as part of daily life. With its beaches,

parks and ranges, sports facilities
and community halls, walking and
cycleways, Auckland has some great
spaces for sport, play and active
recreational activity.
Aucklanders value being active. The
majority participate in some form of
physical activity in any given week,
whether through involvement in
organised sport, going to the gym,
swimming, cycling, or going for a
walk. This is supported by a wellestablished
sport and recreation
sector, which in turn is supported by
more than 300,000 volunteers.
However, the ways in which
Aucklanders participate in sport,
play and active recreation are
changing. Auckland faces challenges
between now and 2040 that could
reduce people’s physical activity levels
and have a negative impact on their
health, including:
• Unmet sport and active recreation
needs from a changing population
(a more ethnically diverse and
a growing younger and older
population)
• A fast-growing city, placing further
pressure on sport and recreation
infrastructure
• Growing income disparities, making
it more difficult for some people to
access sport and active recreation
opportunities
• Changing technology influencing
how people engage in sport and
active recreation
• Rising obesity levels adversely
affecting participation
• Environmental change adversely
affecting outdoor sport and active
recreation, and
• Ongoing funding shortfalls and an
associated failure to meet future
demand.
Some tough decisions will be
needed on future investment into
the sport and recreation sector.
And although most Aucklanders are
physically active in any given week,
their levels of activity are below World
Health Organisation (WHO) guidelines,
with a significant proportion either
underactive or inactive. Unless we
work together to change this, we
predict that 1.5 million Aucklanders
will be underactive or inactive by 2040.
That’s more than the populations of
Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton,
Dunedin, Invercargill and Tauranga
combined. Of these, 480,000 will be
inactive young Aucklanders (aged 17
and under) who could fill Eden Park
ten times over.
These people are Aktive’s priority.
We aim to strengthen Auckland’s
sporting and recreational systems and
environments so that these people
lead more active lives through sport,
play and active recreation.
By looking up and looking long
we hope to build the right kind of
near-term expertise, strategies and
initiatives so that we achieve the
vision of Auckland being the world’s
most active city.
Aktive’s goal is for
1.5 million
more Aucklanders to be
active by 2040

What do
we mean by
sport, active
recreation, play
and physical
activity?
Sport, active recreation, play and
physical activity mean different things
to different people. We use these
terms in the following way:
Sport is physical activity in which
an individual or team compete
against each other for wellbeing and
enjoyment.
Active recreation is noncompetitive
physical activity
undertaken for lifestyle, wellbeing,
health and enjoyment.
Play means physical activity that is
intrinsically motivated, freely chosen,
for no outcome.
Physical activity is any activity
which involves bodily movement. This
includes active recreation, sport, or play.

Our
Purpose
Tō mātou Take Matua
Our purpose is to provide
leadership to the Auckland region
that encourages, enables and
inspires Aucklanders to lead
more active lives through sport
and active recreation.

It is our belief that every
Aucklander has the right to hauora
(health and wellbeing) through
physical activity as part of their
daily lives. Participating in sport, play
and active recreation builds social
and community connection and
improves physical and mental health.
However, there are many barriers to
leading an active life, including:
• The cost of access or membership
• The location of sport and recreation
facilities and transport links to them
• The design of some facilities
• The hours of operation
• Cultural issues, including cultural
safety
• Personal aspects such as
confidence and self-esteem.
makeup of Auckland’s population and
areas of need change, there are some
enduring areas of focus for Aktive:
• Increasing the activity levels of
Auckland’s young people is a
specific priority area.
• Increasing activity amongst Māori
and Pacific people, and their
ownership of sport, play and active
recreation is also a focus. While
they make a significant contribution
to Auckland’s and New Zealand’s
sporting success, participation
rates are reducing. Working with
these communities, we are looking
for ways to increase participation
and governance leadership,
recognising the role that sport plays
as an enabler for success and
wellbeing.
The evidence is that these barriers
make participation in sport, play
and active recreation more difficult
for Māori, Pacific and Asian
peoples, women and girls, people
with disabilities, older people, and
the rainbow community (LGBTQ).
Participation by young people is
adversely affected by these factors.
While our priority areas will change
between now and 2040 as the
We will work with our partners
to break down the barriers
experienced by some of Auckland’s
communities, encourage
participation by those who are
currently underactive or inactive,
and create a more inclusive and
welcoming environment for all.
In doing this though, we must
also continue to support those
Aucklanders who are currently active.
Goal
Participation in sport, play and active recreation by currently underactive or
inactive Aucklanders is increased.

Tāmaki Makaurau is a multicultural
city, with over 120 different
ethnicities. It is also a changing city.
For example, by 2040, over one-third
of the city’s population will identify as
Asian. Whilst Auckland’s population
will be older (with almost twice as
many people aged over 65 years than
under 25 years) it will still be a youthful
city. Among the Māori and Pacific
populations, over half will be under the
age of 25. Many of these young people
will live in South Auckland. Auckland’s
increasingly diverse communities will
require very different sport, play and
active recreation options. There needs
to be much greater flexibility and
choice available if we are to encourage
individual Aucklanders to become
more physically active.
the coming years we can expect to
see a greater blending of technology
with sport, play and active recreation
through, for example, virtual reality.
While technology is often seen as a
threat to activity levels, particularly
for younger Aucklanders, it may also
provide a real opportunity to stimulate
physical activity.
Sport, play and active recreation will
continue to compete for people’s
time and money in a changing
market. Work and lifestyle changes,
such as flexible and remote working
arrangements, also mean that people
want to access sport, play and
active recreation opportunities more
informally, in different locations, and
at times that suit them.
Other changes will also drive the need
for greater flexibility and choice in
the sector. Advances in technology
will significantly alter the ways all
Aucklanders play, work and interact
with each other. Technological
advances will continue to change
not only how people engage with
and want to experience sport, play
and active recreation, but also what
people view as physical activity. Over
While traditional types of sport and
active recreation will continue to have
a place in Auckland, the changing
nature of our society will see an
ongoing shift in the way Aucklanders
choose to be physically active. We
must continually challenge ourselves
and the organisations we work with
to deliver a diverse range of sport and
active recreational activities in a wide
range of places and times.
Goal
All Aucklanders have sport, play and active recreation choice, which provides
flexibility, meets the needs of a changing population, and encourages physical
activity as part of daily life.

Tāmaki Makaurau’s population is
expected to grow from 1.66m people
in 2018 to 2.2m people in 2040.
This growth will increase demand
for housing, schools, infrastructure
and services. Population growth has
already resulted in gaps in Auckland’s
existing network of community sport
and recreational facilities, particularly
in the areas of higher socio-economic
disadvantage. Predicted future
growth will heighten the pressure on
existing facilities and increase the
demand for new facilities.
The impacts of growth are not evenly
felt across Auckland’s population. It is
already harder for communities with
the lowest incomes to gain access
to sport and recreation facilities and
services. As a consequence, their
participation and activity levels suffer.
This is set to get worse, as further
population growth puts even more
pressure on existing facilities.
Population growth has other less
obvious impacts on participation in
sport, play and active recreation. For
example, it continues to increase
congestion on Auckland’s road
network, meaning people spend
more time sitting in traffic. As well,
the public transport network does
not always help people get to the
places they need to be. These
transport challenges make it harder
for people to access their chosen
facilities and activities.
Auckland’s population growth requires:
• Greater investment in multipurpose
sport and recreational
facilities, particularly in areas where
need (including socio-economic
need) is evident as well as suburbs
where new housing developments
and schools are planned facilities
that are easy and safe to access
• Well-designed and easilyaccessible
parks and active
recreation spaces as part of all new
residential developments
• Opening of existing single-use
facilities up to multi-purpose,
community use
• Opening of school sport and active
recreation facilities up to greater
community use, and
• A greater focus on active transport
(walk, bike, scoot and skate) as
a way to not only respond to
congestion, but also to incorporate
physical activity into daily life.
Goal
Planning, urban design and infrastructure investment delivers safe, flexible, and
easy-to-access sport, play and active recreation environments.

parks and open spaces.

Keeping pace with
a changing Auckland
Kia oma tahi me te panoni
4haeretanga o Tāmaki
A fast-changing world challenges
Aktive and Auckland’s sport and
recreation sector to keep pace
and adapt. We can’t predict with
any great certainty the changes that
we will face between now and 2040.
However, some of the broad
changes we will all need to
respond to are known and can,
to some extent, be planned for.
The types of changes facing the
sector are:
Technological innovations:
These will significantly change the
way services are delivered and the
types of jobs available within the
sector.
Environmental change:
Climate change will affect the
ability to provide suitable facilities
in Auckland and access to some
sport and active recreational
activities. Changing environmental
values and behaviours will require
organisations to put sustainability
at the core of their governance
and operation.
Political change: These bring
shifts in priorities, including how
funding is allocated. Shortfalls in
public sector and gaming funding
will continue, placing pressure on
organisations to find alternative
sustainable funding sources.
Population change:
Organisations will need to
understand, include and be
connected to the changing nature
of the communities that they
represent and are trying to reach.
This will require greater cultural
knowledge and confidence.
Workforce changes: By 2040
the ethnic and cultural composition
of Auckland will be very different.
For example, one-third of
Aucklanders will identify as Asian.
It will be challenging to develop a
workforce that is representative
and reflective of this diversity. This
is a particular issue for those
communities where a career within
the sport and recreation sector is
not seen as attractive.
Goal
Sport and recreation organisations are representative of and relevant to
Auckland’s communities and can adapt to change.

Key Strategic
Initiatives
• Empower Auckland’s sport and recreation organisations to be reflective of
their communities at the governance, management and coaching levels.
• Catalyse workforce development programmes that will generate a sport and

communities.
• Drive the sharing of knowledge and resources and the collection of relevant
data within the sector to improve organisational agility, efficiency and
effectiveness.
Outcome
• Sport and recreation organisations have diverse governance and workforces.
• Sport and recreation organisations have adapted their delivery to Auckland’s
communities.

Partnering
with Māori
Kia mahi tahi
5me te Māori
Aktive recognises the bi-cultural
foundation to the multi-cultural city
of Tāmaki Makaurau and that there
are compelling reasons to support
the aspirations of Māori and iwi.
For Tāmaki Makaurau to be the
world’s most active city, Māori
must be active.
Māori have a strong association with
competitive sport in Auckland and
make a major contribution to the
region and the country’s sporting
success. However, while slightly
more Māori adults meet World
Health Organisation (WHO) activity
targets than other ethnicities, Māori
participation rates are declining. Māori
are also disproportionality represented
in obesity statistics and are more
likely to live in poorer households.
This makes participating in sport, play
and active recreation a challenge,
particularly for young Māori.
The capacity for Māori to impact
Māori wellbeing is growing through,
for example, the increasing political
and economic influence of Tāmaki
Makaurau’s iwi. Partnering with
Māori to increase leadership and
participation by and as Māori in
sport, play and active recreation will
address inequities created by ways
of working that have too often placed
Māori as recipients of services
ather than leaders of their own
culturally appropriate aspirations
and development.
We recognise the need for
there to be lasting, reciprocal
relationships between iwi and
the sector and that initiatives
aimed at improving hauora
(health and wellbeing) through
physical activity are based in
Māori values and are culturally
appropriate to Māori - as
Māori, for Māori. This requires
organisations to adopt kaupapa
Māori approaches so that they can
confidently engage with Māori, as
well as embracing Māori involvement
“as Māori” in leadership and
decision-making.
Goal
Aktive’s Role

Initiatives
Outcome
The aspirations of Māori for increased participation and leadership “as Māori” in
sport and active recreation are supported.
Leading
• Partner with Māori organisations to support sport, play and active recreation
initiatives that meet Māori aspirations and outcomes.
• Champion equitable access to resources in a way which supports Māori
participating “as Māori”.
• Inspire organisations within the sector to adopt kaupapa Māori approaches
and to develop cultural competence so they can engage with confidence.
• Tāmaki Makaurau Māori adults are the most active in the county by 2040.
• Tāmaki Makaurau Māori tamariki/rangatahi (5-17) are the most active in the
country by 2040.

building a more active Auckland.
Leading
• Drive strategy, policy, resource and knowledge alignment between the

Advocating
• All organisations that have a role in sport, play and active recreation in
Auckland have aligned goals to build a more active Auckland.
Catalysing
Best Practice
If Auckland is to become the world’s
most active city, we will need to find
new ways to work together to inspire
all Aucklanders to be physically
active as a regular part of their daily
lives. Aktive has a pivotal role to
play in bringing a wide range
of people, communities and
organisations together, to develop
new and shared ways of working
and to create alignment across
the sector.
Developing true collaboration
between a wide range of
organisations requires a culture of
inclusion, trust and respect, based
on an understanding of the changing
nature of Auckland and its
communities. For example,
strengthening our relationships with
Pacific communities recognises that
Auckland has the largest population
of Pacific peoples of any city in the
world. We also will need to
strengthen our connections with
Auckland’s fast-growing Asian
population. We need to work
collaboratively with all priority
populations to understand their
interests and perspectives and to
empower them to develop and lead
initiatives.
We will work closely with the
many public, private and communitybased
organisations that have
complementary roles to play in
increasing participation in sport, play
and active recreation in Tāmaki
Makaurau, as well as encouraging
Aucklanders to become more
physically active. These include:
• Sport New Zealand
• Auckland Council and its agencies
(such as Auckland Transport and
Auckland Tourism, Events, and
Economic Development)
• Central government agencies
(including the sport, education and
health sectors)
• Regional sports trusts
• National and regional sporting
organisations
• Iwi/Māori and ethnic development
organisations
• Education providers (early
childhood, schools, and tertiary
providers)
• Health providers
• Community-based and not-forprofit
organisations
• Private sector sport and recreation
organisations
• Private corporations and
workplaces.
We will all have to work together
to make the best use of our time,
knowledge and resources, drawing
on our complementary strengths
to produce better outcomes.
This could mean for example:
• Working with schools to provide
access to their sport and
recreational facilities outside
school hours
• Working with corporates to be
more expansive in the benefits
they offer employees, such as gym
memberships, sports leave for
players and officials, funding of
recreational activities, and
encouraging walking and cycling
as a part of the working day
• Encouraging public and private
organisations to leverage more
opportunities for activity by being
innovative in how they use their
facilities
• Sharing knowledge and ideas with
the health sector on proven
programmes and initiatives that
encourage people to become
more active.

Tāmaki Makaurau is facing a
magnitude of change through to
2040 that will have far-reaching
impacts on all Aucklanders. We
must keep one step ahead of these
changes if we are to maximise the
opportunities they present, while
minimising the inevitable impacts.
Mega-trends such as increased
diversity within our population,
environmental change, and
a growing focus on integrity
and safety within the sport
and recreation sector have the
potential to significantly affect
the activity levels of Aucklanders.
We can’t wait to see the impact
before we act. We must be
proactive and constantly scan the
horizon to make sure we anticipate
the issues and trends, we talk about
them, and we collaboratively develop
solutions. In other words, we must
help shape or even change the
conversation.
Sport, play and active recreation
has the potential to connect
people and promote social
cohesion, understanding and
tolerance. However, many people
are not aware of the wide-ranging
benefits and value that participation
can bring to their lives. They may
not feel inspired to become
involved, or simply may not
understand the options that are
available to them.
For Auckland to be the world’s
most active city, a shift is required
in people’s awareness, knowledge
and behaviour. Being physically
active must become the norm for
Aucklanders. However, changing
people’s behaviour is not easy. This
is an ambitious goal. It requires a
commitment by all national and local
decision-makers to invest in making
Auckland the world’s most active city.
Aktive has a key role to play in
shaping the conversation about the
importance of sport, play and active
recreation at multiple levels.
• We will champion the needs of
Aucklanders with all national and
local decision-making agencies
• We will gather, analyse and share
insights and information to help
change the conversation around the
importance of being physically active
• We will ensure all decision-making
and investment is informed by
robust data, and
• We will inspire Aucklanders with
success stories and relatable role
models.
We will also work with and encourage
our partners to spread the message to
the diverse communities of Auckland
about the many benefits that come
from being physically active through
participating in sport and active
recreation.
Outcome
• Aktive is a recognised and trusted advocate.
• National and local government funding keeps pace with the investment
needs of Auckland as New Zealand’s largest city.

Implementing
our strategic
framework
Te whakatinanatanga o te pou tarāwaho
Aktive is an independent charitable
trust established to provide regional
leadership in relation to sport and active
recreation in Auckland. In doing so, we
serve the people, whānau and sport and
recreation organisations of Auckland.
This is our long-term strategic
framework. In developing it, we have
focused on “looking up and looking
long”. While it is designed to guide
our long-term decisions and actions,
it will not stand alone. To ensure
we are successful, we will use this
strategic framework to inform all
aspects of our business planning
and implementation.
• It will drive the development of
our more detailed short and
medium-term planning and
operational decision-making
• It will underpin the Aktive Board’s
governance oversight
• It will inform decisions about
organisational capabilities and
resources
• We will measure our success
against the objectives and
roles established in this
strategic framework through
the development of short- and
medium-term key performance
indicators, and
• We will report against those
success measures, consistent with
our commitment to transparency.
