Message<br />

from the Chair<br />

and CEO<br />

He pānui nō te Heamana<br />

me te Kaiwhakahaere Matua<br />

Aktive and its key delivery partners Harbour Sport,<br />

Sport Auckland, Counties Manukau Sport and Sport<br />

Waitakere share a vision for Auckland to be the world’s<br />

most active city. This ambition is set in the context of a sector<br />

that contributes $1.2bn to the region’s GDP and employs 18,000<br />

people, supported by 308,000 volunteers, but with the significant<br />

challenge of historically high levels of obesity and the associated<br />

headwind of inactivity.<br />

Raewyn Lovett<br />

Chair – Aktive<br />

In this context, it is pleasing to report on a year of excellent<br />

progress against our strategic targets for Auckland, allied to<br />

strong operational momentum. We can start with Sport NZ,<br />

which showed its confidence in our strategy by significantly<br />

increasing its community sport investment over a four-year period<br />

<strong>2016</strong>-20. This gave us confidence to progress Auckland-wide<br />

planning, in collaboration with a wide range of partners, to build<br />

a consistent and scalable community sport system which we<br />

are calling The Auckland Approach to Community Sport.<br />

Sport NZ is not the only community<br />

sport partner to confirm the challenge<br />

and importance of Auckland:<br />

within the last two years Aktive’s<br />

up-stream funders have increased<br />

their investment by more than 25%.<br />

In turn, Aktive invested more than $9 million in to community<br />

delivery across Auckland in the <strong>2015</strong>/16 year. Each of the four<br />

local Regional Sports Trusts (RSTs) who serve their communities<br />

Sarah Sandley<br />

CEO – Aktive


Aktive <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2015</strong>/<strong>2016</strong> 7<br />

across Auckland have been offered double-digit investment<br />

increases that can be spent on delivering more services to<br />

targeted “Communities of Interest” as part of the Auckland<br />

Approachto Community Sport.<br />

This paints a clear picture of growth and development,<br />

but in an environment where resources are constrained,<br />

Aktive’s Board has been mindful of the need for the<br />

organisation to maintain its focus. In the <strong>2015</strong>/16 year,<br />

it commissioned an independent strategic review to help<br />

guide the Board and executive.<br />

This judged that Aktive is making<br />

a positive impact, fulfilling its<br />

strategic planning and oversight<br />

role and freeing up local RSTs to<br />

focus on the development and<br />

delivery of grass-roots services.<br />

It concluded that Aktive is playing<br />

a new role in aligning separate forms<br />

of investment to ensure that work<br />

programmes are maximised, thereby<br />

giving up-stream funders confidence,<br />

and that there is value in the<br />

initiatives that Aktive has launched.<br />

This includes centralised shared<br />

services and procurement, which to<br />

date has delivered over $1 million<br />

of realisable savings for the sector<br />

(net of costs). All this has been<br />

achieved with a small staff of fewer<br />

than 16 people; this is our chance to<br />

acknowledge and thank them all for<br />

their hard work over the past year.<br />

To maintain strategic momentum, the Board has determined<br />

that Aktive’s capability should be developed in the new areas<br />

of Insights, Spaces and Places and Targeted Populations.<br />

This will see an acceleration of new opportunities through a<br />

new Targeted Populations Development and Innovation Fund,<br />

locally-based Family Fun Clubs run by our local RST delivery<br />

partners, and the next stage of development for HERA –<br />

Everyday Goddess, Good Sports, TLC (Talent, Leadership<br />

& Character), Pathway to Podium, Performance Coach<br />

Advance and the Chairs’ Roundtable series.<br />

As well, Aktive will play a much more prominent role in<br />

advocacy for the sector, shoulder-to-shoulder with delivery<br />

partners, Healthy Auckland Together and OneVoice.<br />

Aktive will never be a large organisation, so success depends<br />

upon partnerships and collaboration. We would again like<br />

to thank our commercial partners Holden, 2 Degrees, Fairfax<br />

Media, Simpson Grierson, Sheffield and Ricoh, who are<br />

committed to helping us as we expand our work programme<br />

across Auckland, as are our sector partners, AUT, AUT<br />

Millennium Institute of Sport, Massey University, Unitec, Bruce<br />

Pulman Park and the iSPORT Foundation. Our efforts are<br />

helped by Aktive’s Māori Advisory Group, our Coaching & Talent<br />

Development Advisory Group, the Auckland Sports Coalition,<br />

the Tertiary Advisory Group, and project-specific steering<br />

groups for Regional KiwiSport, Good Sports and HERA -<br />

Everyday Goddess. These will be supplemented by Aquatic,<br />

Young People’s and NSO (National Sporting Organisation)<br />

Advisory Groups in <strong>2016</strong>/17.<br />

We would like to express our gratitude to the up-stream<br />

stakeholders who have shown such confidence in Aktive<br />

and its approach to Auckland: Sport NZ, High Performance<br />

Sport New Zealand, Auckland Council, WaterSafety New<br />

Zealand, Foundation North, the New Zealand Community<br />

Trust and the Lion Foundation, and to all our delivery agents<br />

and sector partners. Finally, we wantto thank the Aktive<br />

Board for its strategic guidance, which is much valued.<br />

Aucklanders want to live in a city<br />

in which they are encouraged to<br />

be active. The confidence shown<br />

by our investors, and the promise<br />

of gains from The Auckland<br />

Approach to Community Sport<br />

motivate us to keep working hard<br />

so that Auckland becomes the<br />

world’s most active city.


8 Aktive <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2015</strong>/<strong>2016</strong><br />

MESSAGE FROM AUCKLAND COUNCIL<br />

He pānui nō te Kaunihera ō Tāmaki Makaurau<br />

We’re on a mission to make Auckland the world’s most liveable city.<br />

We are proud to partner with Aktive and we share its vision for<br />

Auckland being the world’s most active city.<br />

Auckland Council’s parks, leisure facilities, sports and recreation<br />

programmes provide Aucklanders with opportunities to be more active<br />

more often. Having quality access to parks and recreation facilities<br />

encourages Aucklanders to engage in regular exercise and directly<br />

contributes to improved physical and mental health.<br />

With over 9 million visits a year, the council’s leisure facilities are an<br />

important part of getting Aucklanders to live healthier lives and enjoy<br />

the benefits of physical activity. We are also increasing our investment<br />

in Auckland’s 800 sports fields to improve playing facilities for<br />

Aucklanders to train and play on.<br />

Auckland Council supports sport and recreation outcomes through<br />

partnering with others and investing in more than 75 facility partnership<br />

projects over the last 3 years, working with others to share land and<br />

resources. Auckland Council has contributed $27 million towards<br />

community recreation assets which, combined with community<br />

contributions, are worth $76 million. One example of this is the new<br />

Owen Glenn National Aquatic Centre, which showcases a<br />

private-public partnership with council investment of $13 million<br />

towards the total facility cost of $27 million ensuring community access<br />

to the pool facility and the opportunity for Auckland to host international<br />

and national swimming events.<br />

<strong>Annual</strong> operation grants also support the implementation of initiatives<br />

with the Auckland Sport and Recreation Strategic Action Plan.<br />

Through Aktive, the Regional Sport and Recreation Grants Programme<br />

and operational grants, we increase community access to<br />

non-Council owned facilities.<br />

Through facilities and programmes like these, we can address<br />

increases in diseases such as obesity, diabetes and<br />

cardiovascular disease.<br />

Auckland Council is committed to supporting Aktive in its efforts to<br />

help people and communities achieve sporting habits for life.<br />

Ehara taku toa, he takitahi, he toa takitini.<br />

Stephen Town<br />

Auckland Council<br />

Chief Executive


MESSAGE FROM SPORT NEW ZEALAND<br />

He pānui nō Sport New Zealand<br />

To ensure we are a healthy nation Sport New Zealand is<br />

striving to see more New Zealanders, particularly young<br />

Kiwis, participating in sport and active recreation.<br />

With one third of the population living in Auckland, it is<br />

crucial that opportunities are made widely available for<br />

Aucklanders to be more physically active.<br />

Aktive – Auckland Sport & Recreation are instrumental<br />

in leading sport and active recreation in Auckland.<br />

This year has seen Aktive continue to cement its<br />

place in the local landscape – providing much leadership,<br />

direction and coordination to, and for, sport and active<br />

recreation in Auckland. By fulfilling this leadership role,<br />

Aktive is empowering local RSTs to focus, streamline<br />

and improve their local delivery for their communities.<br />

The diversity and population density of the Auckland<br />

region presents both challenges and opportunities,<br />

particularly when it comes to encouraging<br />

low participation groups to get active. With an initial<br />

emphasis on young girls and the Indian and<br />

Samoan communities Aktive is undertaking<br />

some great work in this space.<br />

I congratulate Aktive for the steps they continue to<br />

make towards ensuring a positive future for sport<br />

and active recreation in New Zealand’s biggest city.<br />

Peter Miskimmin<br />

Sport New Zealand<br />

Chief Executive


10 Aktive <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2015</strong>/<strong>2016</strong><br />

GOVERNANCE<br />

Mana whakahaere<br />

Aktive is governed by a six-member Board, chaired by<br />

Raewyn Lovett ONZM and supported by trustees Graham<br />

Child, Eru Lyndon, Peter Meehan, Helen Robinson and<br />

Jo Wiggins who all bring a wealth of sport, business<br />

and governance experience to the table.<br />

An audit and risk subcommittee, chaired by Peter Meehan,<br />

meets on a bimonthly basis, and a health & safety<br />

subcommittee, chaired by Jo Wiggins, meets quarterly.<br />

Strategy<br />

In <strong>2015</strong>/16 Aktive’s board undertook a strategic review of the<br />

organisation. This concluded that Aktive is making a significant<br />

strategic impact by taking over responsibility for regional<br />

strategy, programmes, funding and stakeholder management,<br />

by offering a single point of contact for funders, and by playing<br />

a new role in aligning separate forms of investment to ensure<br />

that work programmes are maximised.<br />

Additionally, Aktive has launched initiatives that were<br />

previously undeveloped such as centralised shared services<br />

and procurement, along with targeted pilots such as HERA –<br />

Everyday Goddess and Good Sports and the establishment<br />

of cross-sector advisory groups.<br />

Stakeholders stated that Aktive is perceived well with regards<br />

to leadership and strategy – it is seen as enabling others in the<br />

sector to do better and has made great steps forward in terms<br />

of communication and coordination.<br />

<strong>2016</strong>/17 will see the co-creation of “The Auckland Approach to<br />

Community Sport”, which will set the operational blueprints for<br />

Aktive’s focus on:<br />

1. More Aucklanders More Active<br />

2. Stakeholder Alignment and Sector Development<br />

3. Spaces & Places<br />

Risk<br />

Aktive’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. Aktive 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 Aktive 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 local RSTs,<br />

including reciprocal invitations to attend Board meetings.<br />

At a broader level, major stakeholders such as Sport New<br />

Zealand and Auckland Council regularly attend Aktive board<br />

meetings. Supplementing these two primary channels are<br />

one-on-one meetings with stakeholders along with the<br />

distribution of key stakeholder reports, papers and memoranda.<br />

Advisory Groups<br />

Aktive has a strategic priority to work collaboratively, and to<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 />

Aktive Māori Advisory Group<br />

The past year has been an establishment period for the<br />

Aktive Māori Advisory Group (AMAG) with a number of key<br />

achievements including the provision of cultural advice, content<br />

and engagement with Māori stakeholders to World Masters<br />

Games 2017, development and incorporation of an AMAG<br />

work programme into the Aktive work programme, the first<br />

annual meeting with the Aktive Board to report on progress,<br />

and contribution to the framework for Te Whai Oranga<br />

(Auckland Council’s Māori Sport & Recreation Plan) through<br />

He Oranga Poutama. Carol Ngawati stepped down as Chair<br />

in February due to a relocation to Tauranga. We thank and<br />

acknowledge Carol’s significant contribution to the Māori sport<br />

and recreation landscape including the establishment of<br />

NZ Māori Touch with her late husband Gerard Ngawati,<br />

and various leadership roles including Board member for<br />

Sport Waitakere and Chair of Roopu Manaaki (He Oranga<br />

Poutama Māori Advisory). Eru Lyndon has taken up the<br />

position of Chair. During the year we also welcomed Jamie<br />

Cook, Chair Orakei Volcanoes Sports Club as a new AMAG<br />

member. Aktive’s appointment in August, of Veronica<br />

Thompson in the role of Māori Engagement & Priority<br />

Populations Manager demonstrates an increasing capacity<br />

to effectively engage in the Māori sport and recreation space.<br />

Steering Groups<br />

Operating in a similar fashion to advisory groups, but focusing<br />

on a single piece of work, steering groups are crucial to<br />

maintaining a collaborative and aligned approach with a range<br />

of stakeholders. Currently, two steering groups draw on<br />

the input of the following experts:<br />

HERA – Everyday Goddess<br />

M E<br />

A BIG<br />

PLAY<br />

Aktive works with and through a<br />

number of key partners to fund<br />

and deliver projects throughout<br />

Auckland communities.<br />

With a region as large, as populated and as culturally<br />

and geographically diverse as Auckland, this coordinated<br />

approach is crucial to get the best for, and out of, Auckland.<br />

Aktive continues to provide leadership for the entire Auckland<br />

sport and recreation sector whilst local RSTs leverage their<br />

expertise and connections to deliver programmes and capability<br />

services to their communities.<br />

Aktive continues to make excellent progress in line with our<br />

strategic priorities – More Aucklanders More Active, Stakeholder<br />

Alignment and Sector Development, Sporting Excellence<br />

Promoted and Celebrated and Spaces and Places.<br />

The performance against our strategic priorities is summarised<br />

in the Statement of Service Performance on pages 14-15, then<br />

outlined in more detail in the sections that follow.<br />

OUR STRATEGIC PRIORITIES & PERFORMANCE<br />

More Aucklanders More Active<br />

With a particular focus on school aged children and<br />

low-participation communities, and an emphasis on<br />

introducing and supporting more coaches<br />

Stakeholder Alignment and Sector Development<br />

Especially shared services, coach development and<br />

supporting sporting codes’ capability development<br />

Sporting Excellence Promoted and Celebrated<br />

Excellence of athletes and officials recognised<br />

Spaces and Places<br />

Improving access to facilities and spaces for<br />

all Aucklanders<br />

The Auckland Approach to Community Sport<br />

The establishment of the Auckland Approach to Community<br />

Sport saw a review of Aktive’s strategic plan earlier in the year.<br />

This has led to the removal of Sporting Excellence Promoted<br />

and Celebrated as a strategic priority of Aktive and refinement<br />

of the remaining strategic priorities for the period through<br />

to 2020.

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 Aktive 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 />

Aktive invested more than $9 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 (ASARSAP), Sport<br />

New Zealand’s Community Sport strategy, WaterSafety<br />

New Zealand’s Water Safety Sector Strategy and Aktive’s<br />

strategic plan. Aktive’s investment process ensures<br />

that delivery agents’ KPIs line up side by side to expand<br />

results on the ground.<br />

The successful value proposition<br />

to Sport NZ for community sport<br />

investment resulted in $18,392,000<br />

being confirmed for the Auckland<br />

region for the period <strong>2016</strong>-2020.<br />

To follow are highlights of the work performed for Auckland’s<br />

communities and the sport and recreation sector<br />

by Aktive and our delivery partners in the <strong>2015</strong>/16 year.<br />

HIGHLIGHTS FROM DELIVERY PARTNERS<br />

College Sport<br />

The past 12 months has seen College Sport continue to<br />

provide management, coordination and support to our 107<br />

member schools and over 100,000 students. We have met<br />

with all of our 45 sport delivery partners and conducted<br />

an extensive review process and consulted with a range<br />

of schools around every sport.<br />

Our aim is to ensure the<br />

competition structures we deliver<br />

remain relevant and continue<br />

to meet the needs of students.<br />

We are looking to make significant<br />

changes to a number of sports for<br />

the 2017 year that better reflect<br />

these needs.<br />

As part of the sanctioning process of our sport delivery<br />

partners, we are ensuring that all health and safety plans<br />

are updated and posted on the College Sport website.<br />

We are continuing to identify and remove barriers to<br />

participation and as part of this, are reviewing College Sport<br />

by-laws with the aim of simplifying how competitions are<br />

managed. We have also launched the College Sport Auckland<br />

App for schools, students, coaches, parents and sport partners<br />

to assist this process. All draws, results, venue locations<br />

and notifications are now provided through this App.<br />

In addition, we are producing a weekly newsletter to share<br />

the outstanding activity that is happening.<br />

However, it is clear that despite all the work that is being done<br />

participation numbers are not increasing and we will need<br />

to work even harder with delivery partners to find innovative<br />

solutions to attract non active students into a participation<br />

pathway. All of us in the sector will need to contribute to the<br />

Young Peoples Plan that Aktive is coordinating, agree on what<br />

part of the plan we will deliver and have faith in one another<br />

to effectively do that. Partnerships can sometimes be hard<br />

but we need to keep the needs of young people at the heart<br />

of all our decisions.<br />

More than $9 million<br />

was invested by Aktive on<br />

behalf of its key strategic<br />

funders last year for<br />

community sport delivery,<br />

strategic delivery and<br />

regional service.

Counties Manukau Sport<br />

As a regional sports trust, we are helping to shape our region<br />

into a much healthier, more active, and enjoyable place to be.<br />

Our goal is to see that every child, adult, and family has access<br />

and opportunity to enjoy sport and active recreation wherever<br />

they may live, learn, work and play.<br />

In the <strong>2015</strong>/16 year our focus has<br />

been on the local community. With<br />

525,000 people in our area, and<br />

24% of the population being under<br />

the age of 14, (statistics<br />

sourced from CMDHB) there has<br />

been a focus on young people.<br />

Supporting and growing the capability of our schools<br />

and clubs to deliver quality experiences to an increasingly<br />

diverse population has, while challenging, provided<br />

many highlights.<br />

Support and investment from local boards has ensured<br />

delivery is targeted and communities continue to have<br />

access to resources and support through our Primary Sport,<br />

CM Pedal Power, CM Active Asian, Club Excel and Coaches<br />

Club Programmes.<br />

Primary Sport (Primary Schools)<br />

85 primary schools each have 160 hours available of support<br />

and coaching every year. Targeting the 5-13-year age group,<br />

children benefit from improved skill levels and opportunities<br />

to participate in a wide range of sport. Have-a-go-days,<br />

inter and intra-school competition, leadership programmes,<br />

and teacher professional development were delivered.<br />

Events such as girls only and boys only days also proved<br />

popular. Schools developed their own individual action plans<br />

so the needs of the school were being met, and the<br />

programme is tailored appropriately and participant led.<br />

CM Active Asian<br />

Counties Manukau Sport’s Active Asian initiatives support<br />

Howick clubs and the Asian community to engage with each<br />

other and provide support for individuals to have an active<br />

lifestyle. Opportunities such as the Learn to Swim and Beach<br />

Education programme, which aimed to improve and educate<br />

our Asian community about water safety, encourage the<br />

community to become involved with existing programmes,<br />

recreation activities and clubs in the area. Have a-go-days<br />

at local clubs and at the annual Buddha’s Day proved popular,<br />

and provided an opportunity for the local sport providers to<br />

profile their clubs within the Asian community with a simple<br />

effective approach of “Have a Go” and register.<br />

CM Bike Pedal Power programme<br />

With 10% of the targeted year 4-6 students unable to ride<br />

a bike, the Pedal Power programme has been received<br />

enthusiastically. With 300 sessions delivered to 1600 students<br />

in 16 schools, the programme aims to link students to local<br />

BMX tracks, cycle events and local cycle ways while providing<br />

a skill for life. One of the highlights of the programme was<br />

the collaboration with community groups and funders to<br />

provide bikes and registrations for 200 Manurewa students to<br />

participate in the Weetbix Tryathlon held at Mountfort Park<br />

in December.<br />

Sporting Excellence Awards<br />

Our annual Sporting Excellence Awards evening continues<br />

to be a gala event. Guest speaker, Peter Sterling delivered<br />

a message which resounded with our sporting community<br />

“be passionate about whatever you choose to do in life.”<br />

At Counties Manukau Sport our programmes are reflective<br />

of the area and are unique in delivery, style and content.<br />

Most importantly we love the work that we do.<br />

Club Excel<br />

Club Excel is an advanced Clubsmart programme designed<br />

to create opportunities to secure and sustain high priority club<br />

objectives including funding, strategic planning, volunteer<br />

management, risk management, and strong club-school links.<br />

This new initiative offered sports clubs dedicated support<br />

and resources to enable them to be the leaders and providers<br />

of sport and recreation in their communities.<br />

118 sports clubs are involved in our Club Smart Programme,<br />

with 16 new clubs joining the programme in the past year.<br />

A series of workshops have been designed specifically to<br />

support club volunteers in building capability so that they have<br />

the confidence and support to grow their club. Coaches Club<br />

is an extra professional development opportunity for coaches<br />

from any coaching level and sports code.

Harbour Sport<br />

As the community sport development lead, Harbour Sport have<br />

continued growing relationships and engaging key leaders in<br />

sport and the community to grow the participation, capability<br />

and capacity for sport and recreation in the North Harbour area.<br />

Working closely with the<br />

community, ascertaining needs<br />

and understanding the<br />

demographics of a growing<br />

and changing community, are<br />

at the fore of leadership and<br />

responsibility of an outward-facing<br />

community-based organisation.<br />

Harbour Sport continues to show leadership in the coaching<br />

space. Eight different RSO/NSOs requested support<br />

and guidance in the development of their coaches and coach<br />

development programmes. Outside of this support, 49 coach<br />

development opportunities (workshops and observations)<br />

were delivered to 422 coaches from 17 different organisations.<br />

Significant support in coach development continues to be<br />

offered to secondary schools. The Coach Support Initiative<br />

has grown again this year, with four secondary schools on<br />

the project receiving more funding to grow links with primary<br />

schools, intermediate schools and clubs in their area through<br />

coaching initiatives. This has resulted in the engagement of an<br />

additional 17 new schools/clubs.<br />

The North Harbour Secondary School Regional Sports Plan<br />

was developed as a collective agreement for the continued<br />

support of sport within the schools.<br />

The main focus being to ensure that sport is valued and<br />

students have access to a diverse range of opportunities<br />

in sport.<br />

The Harbour Student Sports Council was created as a direct<br />

result of the Regional Sports Plan, with each school able<br />

to have representation in ‘the student voice’. Another new<br />

initiative which has been very positively received has seen the<br />

introduction of the Secondary Student Volunteer of the Month,<br />

recognising student volunteers in sport within their school.<br />

Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS) remain a crucial part of<br />

development in engaging and retaining young people in sport.<br />

Harbour Sport has continued to focus on upskilling teachers, by<br />

delivering professional development sessions in schools,<br />

on a variety of FMS topics. This year 509 teachers participated<br />

in sessions, impacting on 11,710 children.<br />

The SportSPasifik programme developed by Harbour Sport<br />

addresses barriers to healthy lifestyles by facilitating<br />

well-being and community cohesion, improving health<br />

outcomes by increased participation in sport and physical<br />

activity. The development of the project over a number of<br />

years has created a life stage model which now enables<br />

engagement with all ages in the Pacific community.<br />

A number of new ActivAsian initiatives were implemented<br />

including ‘Walk With Us Albany’ which has grown from a<br />

small group of 20 new migrants, to a record group of 61<br />

participants. This shows a great interest by the group in<br />

both walking as a physical activity along with the desire to<br />

learn more about their new home.<br />

Harbour identified the need<br />

for leadership in the area of<br />

water safety within the new<br />

migrant community. Working in<br />

collaboration with a number of<br />

organisations, to date 18 new<br />

bi-lingual swim instructors have<br />

been trained, with a further 22 to<br />

be trained in the coming months.

Sport Auckland<br />

This year has seen Sport Auckland immersed in our<br />

communities and delivering a full year of our Strategic Plan<br />

<strong>2015</strong>-2018.<br />

Within our young people’s focus area, we continued to<br />

achieve significant success in fundamental movement,<br />

basic sports skills, and young people’s events via our four<br />

community cluster models in Tamaki, Maungakiekie,<br />

Roskill and Waitemata primary and intermediate schools.<br />

We have influenced the clusters<br />

to move away from “sport for<br />

sport’s sake” and replaced this<br />

with more meaningful and high<br />

impact initiatives that meet<br />

the needs of young people<br />

(participant focussed).<br />

Our cluster model adopts a hub and spoke approach<br />

where the schools agree to be the axis for sports clubs<br />

and programmes to engage with their student and parent<br />

communities. The key insights accentuate the point that<br />

this approach requires a long term presence and that each<br />

cluster is unique in its demographics, cultural diversity, wants<br />

and needs. Our cluster model needs to be flexible enough to<br />

address this uniqueness. All of our cluster schools took part<br />

in fundamental movement skills (FMS) programmes primarily<br />

focussed on Athletic New Zealand’s Get Set Go and Run Jump<br />

Throw programmes.<br />

Teacher personal development sessions were included to<br />

ensure sustainability of delivery for future years within the<br />

schools. Additionally, FMS workshops were delivered to<br />

tertiary students at The University of Auckland, Unitec and AUT,<br />

and to staff at Bear Park and PORSE Early Childhood centres.<br />

Our 35 “qualifying” primary schools also took part in the<br />

GAAAP swimming programme. We project managed over<br />

30 cluster events throughout the year that took place before,<br />

during and after school.<br />

We have successfully grown<br />

student leaders and critical<br />

thinkers and increased teacher<br />

confidence in delivering Physical<br />

Education.<br />

Under our Sport Sector Capability Build focus area,<br />

we delivered Growing Coaches courses, Growing Leaders<br />

courses, Introduction to Coaching courses and delivered<br />

TLC to two of our targeted secondary schools. In the club<br />

space we delivered governance workshops, sponsorship<br />

workshops, strategic planning sessions, volunteer<br />

management planning sessions and club warrant of fitness<br />

programmes to over 30 separate organisations. We continue<br />

to hold governance roles with Auckland Badminton Association<br />

and the Auckland Softball Charitable Foundation Trust.<br />

We continued to introduce our online “Develop Your Legacy<br />

Tool” (www.developyourlegacy.co.nz) to interested NSOs,<br />

RSOs, and clubs enhancing this tool from its original concept<br />

as an online repository library to one that will gather useful<br />

insights, intel and demographics of our stakeholder partners.<br />

This information will help shape strategies to assist making<br />

Auckland the most active city in the world.<br />

This year we combined with our local boards to deliver<br />

community wide workshops and forums around sponsorship<br />

and health & safety, with an aggregate attendance of 120<br />

participants.<br />

Our advocacy and influencing roles<br />

continue in the sector where we have<br />

helped organisations unlock financial<br />

resources for specific projects with the<br />

Grey Lynn Pump Track Association<br />

being one particular example of<br />

success with close to $100,000 being<br />

raised for their project.<br />

We performed outstandingly well in our health and wellness<br />

focus area, securing our first Active Families contract with<br />

the ADHB and attaining our Green Prescription (GRx) KPIs.<br />

The MoH summarised the last financial year stating in part<br />

“Eight providers met or exceeded all nine KPIs this time,<br />

the same as for last year and one fewer than in 2013/14…<br />

Other consistently high performers are (amongst others)<br />

Sport Auckland…”<br />

As we reflect on another successful year we also look forward<br />

to continuing our relationship with all our partners.<br />

We embrace our role as one of<br />

Aktive’s key delivery partners and<br />

look forward to delivering on the<br />

Auckland Approach over the next<br />

three years.

Sport Waitakere<br />

Sport Waitakere has completed another successful year<br />

delivering within our four strategic pillars to achieve our<br />

vision “Everyone connected, healthy and active”.<br />

Schools<br />

KiwiSport has allowed our schools and communities to<br />

identify their own areas of need and have the solutions<br />

supported via funding. 47 projects have been invested in<br />

via KiwiSport funding to the tune of $259,864.<br />

From this funding we have created<br />

over 120,000 opportunities<br />

and leveraged $239,650, meaning<br />

the total investment in the young<br />

people’s space is well over<br />

$499,000.<br />

Our Growing Leaders programme is customised to suit the<br />

needs of our community through workshops that were open<br />

to students and teachers. Future Leaders Day brought together<br />

students from nine West Auckland primary schools. 78<br />

students participated in the workshop. We continued to work<br />

hard to ensure that there are plenty of opportunities for these<br />

leaders to continue to serve their communities. This year sees<br />

the first crop of students who have been through the Growing<br />

Leaders programme in previous years come through the<br />

Growing Coaches programme in high schools.<br />

Building physical literacy remains a targeted area across<br />

the whole of the young people’s space. It is important to<br />

us that development of physical literacy continues in our<br />

community.<br />

This year we have trained 47<br />

teachers, 26 coaches, 15 parents<br />

and 62 high school students to<br />

take knowledge back into their<br />

communities. Alongside this<br />

we delivered physical literacy<br />

workshop blocks over 10 sessions,<br />

to 698 West Auckland students.<br />

Sport<br />

Sport Waitakere has continued its targeted approach to sport<br />

in West Auckland through support of our local clubs in the<br />

Sport Waitakere catchment area. We acknowledge that<br />

the existing targeted approach to the Sport NZ priority sports<br />

will change in the coming year, and look forward to working<br />

with a wider variety of sports across West Auckland.<br />

Community<br />

Move It Youth Holiday programmes were delivered during<br />

the holidays with over 100 youth attending every day.<br />

Mau Rakau, Ki O Rahi and other cultural games were<br />

introduced to this free programme which attracts a high<br />

percentage of youth from Pacific and Māori communities.<br />

Sport Waitakere led an activation project in Olympic Park<br />

funded by Auckland Council to reduce the amount of graffiti<br />

in the park. Through activation efforts such as local youth led<br />

murals, pop up sports activities and events, the park has seen<br />

a decrease in graffiti of just under 30%.<br />

Healthy Families Waitakere<br />

Healthy Families New Zealand is part of the Government’s<br />

wider approach to helping New Zealanders live healthy,<br />

active lives. Healthy Families Waitakere is one of ten<br />

communities across New Zealand involved. Ten new staff<br />

have joined the wider Sport Waitakere team to support<br />

and drive change in the community.<br />

Healthy Families Waitakere is supported by a number of<br />

organisations to provide strategic leadership and create healthy<br />

change within their spheres of influence. Initiatives targeted<br />

by the team include Smokefree and Water only, Nutrition in<br />

Sport Clubs, Early Childhood Education and Workplace health.<br />

We look forward to working with our community in the year<br />

ahead, and continue being one of the flagship organisations<br />

in our region, striving for our vision of “everyone connected,<br />

healthy and active.”<br />

We are a pilot location for Play.sport. This Sport NZ project<br />

supports teachers, schools, parents and communities to<br />

improve the quality of young people’s experiences of play,<br />

physical education, physical activity and sport. 26 schools are<br />

involved and we now employ 2.5 activators to support schools<br />

to provide students with the confidence, competence and<br />

motivation to be involved in sport and recreation for life.

Auckland Regional KiwiSport<br />

KiwiSport is a national initiative that was launched in 2009<br />

by Prime Minister John Key.<br />

It aims to:<br />

• Increase the number of school-aged children participating<br />

in organised sport – during school, after school and by<br />

strengthening links with sports club;<br />

• Increase the availability and accessibility of sport<br />

opportunities for all school-aged children to participate<br />

in organised sport;<br />

• Support children in developing skills that will enable them<br />

to participate effectively in organised sport.<br />

Aktive administers the Auckland Regional KiwiSport Fund<br />

on behalf of Sport NZ. This investment is to support regional<br />

and/or national sport organisations for projects/initiatives that<br />

can provide new or increased organised sport opportunities<br />

for children aged 5-18yrs across the Auckland Region.<br />

In <strong>2015</strong>/16 two funding rounds have been held, with a total<br />

of $474,654 approved for nine regional projects managed by:<br />

Athletics New Zealand, Auckland Badminton, Auckland<br />

Football & Northern Football (combined application),<br />

Hockey New Zealand, Softball New Zealand, Special Olympics,<br />

Surf Lifesaving Northern Region, Table Tennis New Zealand<br />

and Tennis Auckland.<br />

In addition, projects run by Auckland Cricket, International<br />

Taekwon-Do Foundation of New Zealand, New Zealand<br />

Football and New Zealand Golf continued to offer Regional<br />

KiwiSport projects.<br />

In total, 4435 sessions have been<br />

delivered to 11,284 primary school<br />

students and 11,524 secondary<br />

school students, with a combined<br />

97,702 sporting opportunities<br />

offered through the KiwiSport<br />

projects run in <strong>2015</strong>/<strong>2016</strong>.<br />

Highlights include:<br />

• Auckland Tennis’ ‘Hot Shots in Schools’ has seen<br />

10% of participant’s progress into playing at a club<br />

• New Zealand Football’s ‘Futsal in Schools’ programme<br />

has trained 53 students to be qualified futsal coaches<br />

and referees<br />

• Prior to participating, over 80% of students in Golf NZ’s<br />

SNAG Golf programme had never played golf before<br />

• Subsequent to ‘Kiwi-TD’ being delivered to Avondale<br />

Intermediate, the Avondale Taekwon-Do club doubled<br />

its membership.

HERA - Everyday Goddess<br />

HERA – Everyday Goddess (previous working title Us<br />

Girls) is a pilot project with an holistic approach, aimed<br />

at empowering girls aged 13-18 years to become active<br />

for life in formal and informal sport and recreation.<br />

The pilot is across nine Auckland locations: Papakura,<br />

Manurewa, Manukau, Otara, Mangere, Green Bay, Lynfield,<br />

Blockhouse Bay and Mount Roskill.<br />

Engagement by the girls is deemed critical to the pilot’s<br />

success, so focus groups from schools within the targeted<br />

areas, were recruited in <strong>2015</strong>/16 to help develop the brand<br />

and design the programme.<br />

HERA is the Goddess of Olympians<br />

- a prominent and strong goddess<br />

in Greek mythology. The name<br />

captures the sense of empowering<br />

females to be more confident, in<br />

order to be active.<br />

The phrase “everyday goddess” relays a sense of positive<br />

self-worth, and reinforces that all girls – regardless of their<br />

shape, size, ability, fitness level or ethnicity – have the right<br />

to be active and deserve the benefits of being active.<br />

Aktive is currently working with a number of different<br />

delivery partners to engage with these girls, offering<br />

appropriate sport and recreation opportunities to enable<br />

them to be active.<br />

Aktive acknowledges the funding given by Sport NZ,<br />

NZCT and Auckland Council to this pilot project.<br />

Good Sports<br />

Good Sports is a culture change project designed to create<br />

positive sporting experiences for children aged 7-13, in<br />

order to encourage life-long participation. It is a pilot now<br />

extended to 2018, being trialled across eight Auckland<br />

locations primarily targeting parents and other key adult<br />

influencers in children’s sport – coaches, sport leaders,<br />

administrators and teachers.<br />

Good Sports aims to achieve culture change in three ways:<br />

• Training and supporting Good Sports Developers to<br />

educate, support and champion Good Sports as a<br />

means to sparking positive change within their local sport<br />

communities. Developers are change agents who use<br />

tailored workshops to engage coaches, parents<br />

and other adult influencers in conversation on the key<br />

issues that affect their children’s sporting experiences and<br />

how adults can best support the needs of children sport.<br />

• Developing and providing acces to resources, articles<br />

and key messages that are aligned to the Good<br />

Sports philosophy for parents, coaches, sport leaders,<br />

administrators and teachers in order to build better<br />

understanding and knowledge.<br />

• Developing public messaging to create an environment<br />

of acceptance and understanding of the Good Sports<br />

messages by the wider public, so that when a parent,<br />

coach, teacher or youth sport provider personally comes<br />

into contact with the Good Sports campaign (in whatever<br />

capacity), they are comfortable with the concept and<br />

need for change, or at least recognise it.<br />

Highlights include:<br />

• Three two-day Good Sports Developers Courses<br />

have been delivered, training a total of 49 Good Sports<br />

Developers<br />

• Six Good Sports Community Modules have been<br />

delivered to 191 parents, coaches, sport leaders<br />

and teachers<br />

• Three advertisements published in three local Auckland<br />

Fairfax papers, reaching an average combined<br />

readership of 202,000 people<br />

• 13 digital placements, placed on stuff.co.nz, delivering<br />

1,020,072 impressions and 13,150 click-throughs<br />

to Good Sports articles<br />

• The establishment of the Good Sports Facebook page.<br />

STAKEHOLDER ALIGNMENT & SECTOR DEVELOPMENT<br />

One of our key strategic objectives is to align the sport<br />

and recreation sector within Auckland, and to improve the<br />

capability of organisations at all levels so participants have<br />

an excellent experience. Our alignment activity includes<br />

a mix of leadership and collaboration – creating collective<br />

opportunities to better understand the forces acting on the<br />

sector in Auckland, and contributing to the development<br />

and implementation of philosophies, policies and projects.<br />

We partnered with Auckland Council and Sport NZ in the<br />

delivery of the second annual Auckland sector conference<br />

at an event in February when the Minister for Sport, the<br />

Hon Dr Jonathan Coleman, and His Worship the Mayor of<br />

Auckland, Len Brown, introduced to the sector the findings<br />

of three pieces of research vitally important to all entities<br />

working in our city.<br />

Aktive has created a new governance initiative, the<br />

Chairs Roundtable, designed specifically for the chairs of<br />

Auckland-based NSOs and RSOs, backed by Sport NZ,<br />

and supported by Aktive partners Sheffield and Simpson<br />

Grierson. This initiative will expand in <strong>2016</strong>/17 with further<br />

plenary sessions and the provision by Sheffield of bespoke<br />

Leadership in Sport courses for Chairs.<br />

Aktive is also a key partner in cross-sector, cross-code<br />

and cross-agency collaborative groups, OneVoice, Healthy<br />

Auckland Together, the Funders Forum, and the RSOmember<br />

organisation the Auckland Sports Coalition.<br />

Together these collaborations are able to consider a broad<br />

range of connected topics, including the increasinglyconverging<br />

aims of other Government Ministries in the<br />

well-being of all New Zealanders, and the broad objectives<br />

of Council in creating the world’s most liveable city.<br />

Aktive practices this collaboration in seeking good direction<br />

and input from other parties in creating its own workplan<br />

and agenda. Advisory groups in the tertiary sector, in<br />

Māori engagement, in coaching and talent development,<br />

and in the working of the Regional KiwiSport fund, bring<br />

a wide variety of people to tables to guide and inform our<br />

work. For specific projects HERA – Everyday Goddess<br />

and Good Sports the knowledge and skills of relevant and<br />

skilled industry practitioners has been crucial in shaping the<br />

detailed implementation of our plans.<br />

Aktive also takes a leadership role in issues that affect the<br />

sector widely, reading and understanding on behalf of the<br />

sector in Auckland, and distilling the issues and potential<br />

impact on the sector before contributing to national debate<br />

through submissions on the Class 4 Gambling Review and<br />

the Draft Incorporated Societies Bill.<br />

Back office alignment (shared services)<br />

The coordination of the shared services approach to<br />

administration across Aktive and the four local RSTs bore even<br />

more fruit, as expected, after the initial savings. The group<br />

has seen a 13% reduction in the ratio of the overall costs as a<br />

proportion of income since shared services was set up.<br />

A focus of efficiency and value for money sees the overall cost<br />

of Aktive’s administration run at just 6.4% of total income or<br />

9.4% if shared services staff are included.<br />

Notably though, the value of the approach has been<br />

recognised by regional and national sporting organisations<br />

outside Aktive’s immediate sphere with 13 organisations<br />

now having utilised 41 different services within Aktive Shared<br />

Services and Procurement’s offering, enabling almost $1<br />

million to date of realisable savings to their operational costs –<br />

money 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 />

and Aktive has set the target of taking $1m per annum in costs<br />

out of the sector by 2017, again freeing up that money for<br />

greater impact through investment in community projects.<br />

Discussions are underway with a further 29 entities (including<br />

national and regional sporting organisations) to take<br />

advantage of Aktive Shared Service and Procurement in the<br />

<strong>2016</strong>/17 financial year.<br />

“Bowls New Zealand have contracted<br />

the Aktive financial team to look<br />

after all our financial services since<br />

January <strong>2016</strong>. We have established<br />

an excellent working relationship<br />

and have found the staff we are<br />

working with to be professional<br />

and accommodating of our<br />

requirements. They have become<br />

a valuable part of our team.<br />

We would recommend this service<br />

to any NSO or RSO as very good<br />

value for money”<br />

- Kerry Clark OBE, Bowls NZ, Chief Executive.<br />

560 development<br />

opportunities impacted<br />

3523 coaches<br />

and indirectly more<br />

than 30,000 sport<br />

participants


Aktive <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2015</strong>/<strong>2016</strong> 27<br />

Coaching & Talent Development (C&TD)<br />

The Aktive group has made significant progress in Auckland<br />

over the past year building a systematic approach to coaching<br />

and athlete development.<br />

We are delighted to report that a programme of 560<br />

development opportunities impacted 3523 coaches and that<br />

indirectly, more than 30,000 sport participants experienced<br />

a more positive sporting environment as a result. The C&TD<br />

advisory group continues to meet quarterly to provide strategic<br />

guidance and independent quality assurance over Aktive’s<br />

work. A C&TD framework is now completed that delivers<br />

initiatives focused on growing capability across all three<br />

Sport NZ community coaching communities (foundation,<br />

development, performance).<br />

Highlights include:<br />

Student Leadership Day<br />

In partnership with iSPORT Foundation, Aktive facilitated a<br />

historic secondary school leadership event bringing together<br />

close to 650 participants, including students and principals,<br />

from 60 Auckland schools. The event attracted an online<br />

audience of more than 8000 people. TLC (Talent, Leadership,<br />

Character) messages featured strongly throughout the day<br />

showcasing the power of this signature Aktive programme.<br />

Aktive was responsible for aligning key messages across<br />

the numerous speakers which included Richie McCaw and<br />

Dr Ralph Pim, MCs and facilitators with 35 volunteer regional<br />

facilitators, who lead student sessions on the day.<br />

We acknowledge the collaborative effort of the following<br />

organisations who all played a role in supporting the successful<br />

delivery of the event including, iSPORT, Sir Peter Blake Trust,<br />

He Oranga Poutama, Find Your Field of Dreams, Westpac,<br />

Harbour Sport, Sport Waitakere, Counties Manukau Sport,<br />

Sport Auckland and Wero.<br />

Aktive Talent, Leadership & Character (TLC)<br />

TLC is a framework that uses sport to develop strong, resilient<br />

leaders of character that excel in sport, school and life. TLC<br />

supports teachers, coaches, students and whānau to learn<br />

about the power of teamwork and the importance of moral<br />

and performance character. In the <strong>2015</strong>/16 period, this pilot<br />

project was extended to eight schools to include Mt Albert<br />

Grammar and Auckland Grammar School. A variety of delivery<br />

channels have been utilised including full school assemblies,<br />

senior management presentations, teacher, coach, parent<br />

education and student workshops. The response to TLC has<br />

been overwhelmingly positive. The development of leadership<br />

skills and good character attributes has led to improved<br />

performances on the sports ground as well as within the<br />

classroom. Many parents have also commented on positive<br />

changes taking place in the home environment. Due to the<br />

success of the two-year pilot programme Aktive currently has<br />

received requests from ten new schools wishing to participate<br />

in the TLC programme. In the past year TLC has impacted<br />

14,556 students, 8 Principals, 150 sports coaches, 200<br />

teachers & senior staff.<br />

Coach Evolve<br />

In response to an identified need Aktive – in collaboration<br />

with local RSTs and AUT – developed a new pilot community<br />

coaching programme called Coach Evolve. It is designed to<br />

make a significant change in coaching practices by ensuring<br />

athletes and participants experience a positive and enjoyable<br />

environment and establish a lifelong passion for sport.<br />

Aktive and local RST staff consulted with Regional Sports<br />

Organisations to identify potential coaches for the inaugural<br />

intake; 54 coaches were selected for the initial pilot year,<br />

representing 14 different sports.<br />

Performance Coach Advance (PCA)<br />

Performance Coach Advance is a national Sport NZ<br />

programme aiming to advance the innovation, creativity and<br />

performance of outstanding coaches in the performance<br />

coaching community. In Auckland, a strong feature of this<br />

programme is the cross-sport interaction and collaboration<br />

that allows coaches to discuss experiences, challenges and<br />

lessons in a safe and supportive environment. Coaches recieve<br />

individualised professional development, including access<br />

to coaching mentors and experts from various performance<br />

environments. 72 coaches have been a part of PCA since its<br />

inception in 2014, with 19 national sports represented.<br />

Pathway to Podium (P2P)<br />

Pathway to Podium (P2P) is a nationwide Sport NZ athlete<br />

development programme that grows capability in emerging<br />

athletes who are identified as potential future winners on the<br />

world stage. The goal of Pathway to Podium is to accelerate<br />

the learning of athletes to ensure they are better prepared for<br />

the demands of high performance sport. Auckland is the largest<br />

P2P hub in the country.<br />

Highlights include:<br />

• 89 athletes benefited from Aktive’s P2P support programme<br />

• Since inception, 29 athletes have transitioned from the<br />

Auckland P2P programme into High Performance Sport NZ’s<br />

carded athlete system<br />

• Inaugural partner recognition evening<br />

• New intake of athletes extended the programme’s support to<br />

96 athletes and their coaches and parents<br />

• Three Auckland P2P graduates selected for Rio Olympics<br />

and Paralympics: Helena Gasson (swimming), Byron<br />

Raubenheimer (para cycling) and Tupou Neiufi<br />

(para swimming).

“TLC gave us the model process and direction around<br />

being able to produce a culture which would lift this<br />

SPACES AND PLACES<br />

Aktive recognises that spaces and places create opportunities<br />

for Aucklanders to participate, and we work to help NSOs<br />

and RSOs plan and advocate for investment in facilities across<br />

our city.<br />

Our ongoing advocacy around the Auckland Council 10-year<br />

budget (Long Term Plan) aims to preserve a major investment<br />

in capital expenditure to meet the future sport and recreation<br />

needs of a growing, diverse, and increasingly dense Auckland.<br />

Our participation in the Funders Forum aligns Auckland Council<br />

knowledge and plans with code-specific work, to obtain<br />

the optimum outcomes.<br />

Aktive is a key partner with<br />

Auckland Council in major<br />

projects such as the Sports Facility<br />

Investment Plan, the sector-wide<br />

Sports Facility Network Plan<br />

and the Community Schools<br />

Partnership project which seeks<br />

to unlock the potential of sharing<br />

facilities between the community<br />

and schools.<br />

We have worked closely in facility planning, either as a separate<br />

exercise or as part of creating an Auckland Community Sport<br />

Plan, with individual codes in Netball, League, Basketball,<br />

Tennis, Hockey and Athletics. Our role is to make sure that<br />

individual code aspirations are evidence-based and fit within the<br />

broader facilities policies and philosophies of Auckland Council<br />

and external funders. We will expand this detailed code<br />

by code work in <strong>2016</strong>/17.<br />

With local RSTs across the city, we have been involved<br />

in detailed planning work and advocacy, and submissions<br />

in local areas and on specific site investments. Local board<br />

local initiative spending, sport facility partnerships at<br />

multi-code venues, and good-practice examples of<br />

community-school partnerships have all been facilitated<br />

across the city through specialist interventions by local RST staff.<br />

Major redevelopment or re-purposing exercises such as<br />

at Chamberlain Park, Colin Maiden Park, and Auckland Domain<br />

require co-ordinated advocacy from codes, local RSTs and<br />

Aktive to affect the multiple layers of decision-making that<br />

exist in Auckland.<br />

Aktive will also continue to lead<br />

sector knowledge and advocacy<br />

on the effects of planning rules on<br />

facility development in Auckland,<br />

and their potential influence over<br />

changes to regulations across the<br />

whole of NZ.<br />

Leadership and collectivising the voice of the sector around<br />

the Auckland Unitary Plan came to head early in the <strong>2015</strong>/16<br />

year, though the results were not known until more recently.<br />

Linked to Environment Court decisions made public this<br />

year, precedents and case law are being set which will affect<br />

the scale of community benefit achievable and hence the<br />

desirability of investment decisions on any given site.<br />

“Working with Aktive has<br />

enabled us to have an all of<br />

Auckland approach that achieves<br />

economies and benefits for our<br />

sport across the region.<br />

Aktive has helped us gain<br />

access to key stakeholders that<br />

are interested in all of Auckland<br />

solutions that benefit their<br />

communities and our sport.<br />

Working alongside Aktive helps<br />

our plans to be seen as having<br />

an independence and robustness<br />

that ensures they are well<br />

received by key stakeholders.”<br />

30 Aktive <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2015</strong>/<strong>2016</strong><br />

FUTURE FOCUS <strong>2016</strong>-2020:<br />

THE AUCKLAND APPROACH TO COMMUNITY SPORT<br />

The introduction of a ‘World Class Community Sport System’<br />

into Auckland brings a shift in thinking about how community<br />

sport is deployed across a complex environment.<br />

Auckland represents 34% of NZ’s<br />

population and is the fastest<br />

growing city with large targeted<br />

populations: 275,000+ young<br />

people, 142,767 Māori, 307,000<br />

Asians (171,500 Chinese) and<br />

it boasts the world’s largest<br />

Polynesian population (194,958).<br />

While complex and diverse, it also<br />

offers unparalleled opportunities<br />

to increase participation.<br />

Mobilising this approach will be new senior roles with<br />

the working title of Community Sport Engagement<br />

Manager, reporting to local RST Chief Executives.<br />

These roles will be the strategic lead and mastermind<br />

behind the identification and deployment of appropriate<br />

resources into ‘Communities of Interest’.<br />

Collaboration and insights are<br />

centre stage in bringing to life this<br />

approach, which will contribute to<br />

the vision of Auckland being the<br />

world’s most active city.<br />

The assignment of limited resources in such a challenging<br />

environment necessitates a targeted approach that permits<br />

sufficient flexibility and responsiveness to local needs.<br />

The approach being adopted is known as ‘The Auckland<br />

Approach to Community Sport’.<br />

At the heart of ‘The Auckland Approach to Community Sport’<br />

is the participant and the local community in which they live,<br />

a so called geographic ‘Communities of Activity’. Their needs<br />

are at the centre of provision, with appropriate services and<br />

interventions wrapped around them in an intensified manner.<br />

A combination of desk insights, local knowledge<br />

and consultation will be deployed to determine<br />

the application of solutions.<br />

TLC has impacted<br />

14,556 students,<br />

8 Principals, 150 sports<br />

coaches, 200 teachers<br />

& senior staff.

STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES<br />

For the year ended 30 June <strong>2016</strong><br />

1.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION<br />

Aktive – Auckland Sport & Recreation (“Aktive”) is a Charitable Trust (legal name of Trust ‘Auckland Sport’), domiciled<br />

in New Zealand and registered under the Charitable Trusts Act 1957. The significant accounting policies used in<br />

the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These financial statements have been prepared<br />

on the basis of historical cost, as modified by the fair value measurement of non-derivative financial instruments.<br />

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in<br />

New Zealand (“NZ GAAP”). It complies with Public Benefit Entity International Public Sector Accounting Standards<br />

(“PBE IPSAS”) and other applicable financial reporting standards as appropriate that have been authorised for use<br />

by the External <strong>Report</strong>ing Board for Not-For-Profit entities. For the purposes of complying with NZ GAAP, Aktive is a public<br />

benefit not-for-profit entity and is eligible to apply Tier 2 Not-For-Profit PBE IPSAS on the basis that it does not have<br />

public accountability and it is not defined as large. The Board of Trustees has elected to report in accordance with<br />

Tier 2 Not-For-Profit PBE Accounting Standards and in doing so has taken advantage of all applicable Reduced Disclosure<br />

Regime (“RDR”) disclosure concessions.<br />

Effect of first-time adoption of PBE standards on accounting policies and disclosures<br />

These are the first financial statements of Aktive that are presented in accordance with PBE standards.<br />

Aktive has previously reported in accordance with old GAAP as defined by Financial <strong>Report</strong>ing Standards and applicable<br />

Statements of Standard Accounting Practice. Aktive has taken advantage of the exemption for the first time application<br />

of PBE standards not to provide comparative values. Prior year audited financial statements can be found on Aktive’s<br />

website at www.aktive.org.nz. The accounting policies adopted in these financial statements are consistent with those<br />

of the previous financial year, except for instances when the accounting or reporting requirements of a PBE standard are<br />

different to requirements under old GAAP as outlined below. The changes to accounting policies and disclosures caused<br />

by first time application of PBE accounting standards are as follows:<br />

PBE IPSAS 1 - Presentation of financial statements<br />

There are minor differences between PBE IPSAS 1 and the equivalent standard under old GAAP. These differences have an<br />

effect on disclosure only. The main changes in disclosure resulting from the application of PBE IPSAS 1 are the following:<br />

Receivables from exchange and non-exchange transactions:<br />

In the financial statements of the previous financial year, receivables were presented as a single total in the statement<br />

of financial position. However, PBE IPSAS 1 requires receivables from non-exchange transactions and receivables<br />

from exchange transactions to be presented separately in the statement of financial position.<br />

PBE IPSAS 23 - Revenue from non-exchange transactions<br />

PBE IPSAS 23 prescribes the financial reporting requirements for revenue arising from non-exchange transactions.<br />

There is no equivalent financial reporting standard under old GAAP. The application of this standard affected Aktive’s<br />

accounting for funding and grants revenue. In the previous financial year, grants received in relation to the provision<br />

of a service were recognised as revenue on a percentage of completion basis. However, PBE IPSAS 23 requires revenue<br />

from non-exchange transactions, such as grants, to be recognised as revenue as they are received, unless the grant<br />

meets the definition of and recognition criteria for a liability. Non-exchange revenue from grants can only be deferred<br />

and recognised as a liability if there is a condition attached to the grant that require an entity to use the grant as specified<br />

or return of the grant if the entity does not perform as specified. The ‘Accumulated comprehensive revenue and expense’<br />

reserve in the ‘Statement of financial position’ has increased from that disclosed in the previous financial year due to<br />

this different grant treatment.<br />

PBE IPSAS 2 - Cash flow statement<br />

A statement of cash flows has been prepared.


Aktive <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2015</strong>/<strong>2016</strong> 37<br />

1.2 REVENUE<br />

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to Aktive and revenue can<br />

be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received. The following specific<br />

recognition criteria must be met before revenue is recognised.<br />

Revenue from non-exchange transactions<br />

Grant revenue<br />

Grant revenue includes grants given by the Government, other charitable organisations, philanthropic organisations<br />

and businesses. Grant revenue is recognised when the conditions attached to the grant has been complied with.<br />

Where there are unfulfilled conditions attaching to the grant, the amount relating to the unfulfilled condition is<br />

recognised as a liability and released to revenue as the conditions are fulfilled.<br />

KiwiSport<br />

Sport New Zealand has introduced the KiwiSport Regional Partnership Fund to increase sporting participation<br />

and opportunities for children and allow them to develop better skills. Aktive is the conduit of the KiwiSport funding<br />

with 80% of total funding distributed to local areas within Auckland and the remaining 20% allocated to ‘regional’<br />

use. The local portion of this fund is ultimately received by Primary Schools, Secondary Schools and Community<br />

Organisations to deliver programmes to school aged children.<br />

Kiwisport funding is received by Aktive in a ‘non-agent’ capacity as Aktive has control over the use of funds in terms<br />

of the vehicle in which funds are distributed to the related regions for which it serves. Aktive also directly benefits<br />

from the funding in the pursuit of its objectives via brand recognition and advertising. The funds are accounted for<br />

in the statement of comprehensive revenue and expense and result in an increase in net assets.<br />

Revenue from exchange transactions<br />

Sponsorship in kind<br />

Sponsorship in kind is recognised as revenue and expenses when goods or services are received.<br />

Sponsorship in kind is measured at fair value as at the date of acquisition, ascertained by reference to<br />

the expected cost that would be otherwise incurred.<br />

Interest income<br />

Interest revenue is recognised as it accrues, using the effective interest method.<br />

1.3 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS<br />

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when Aktive becomes a party to the contractual provisions<br />

of the financial instrument.<br />

Aktive derecognises a financial asset or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar<br />

financial assets when the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired or are waived, or Aktive has<br />

transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash<br />

flows in full without material delay to a third party; and either:<br />

- Aktive has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset; or<br />

- Aktive has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred<br />

control of the asset.


38 Aktive <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2015</strong>/<strong>2016</strong><br />

Financial assets<br />

Financial assets within the scope of NFP PBE IPSAS 29 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement<br />

are classified as financial assets at fair value through surplus or deficit, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity<br />

investments or available-for-sale financial assets. The classifications of the financial assets are determined<br />

at initial recognition.<br />

The categorisation determines subsequent measurement and whether any resulting income and expense<br />

is recognised in surplus or deficit or in other comprehensive revenue and expense. Aktive’s financial assets are<br />

classified as loans and receivables. Aktive’s financial assets include: cash and cash equivalents, short-term<br />

investments, receivables from non-exchange transactions and receivables from exchange transactions.<br />

All financial assets except for those at fair value through surplus or deficit are subject to review for impairment at<br />

least at each reporting date. Financial assets are impaired when there is any objective evidence that a financial asset<br />

or group of financial assets is impaired. Different criteria to determine impairment are applied for each category of<br />

financial assets, which are described below.<br />

Loans and receivables<br />

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted<br />

in an active market. After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest<br />

method, less any allowance for impairment. Aktive’s cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, receivables<br />

from non-exchange transactions, receivables from exchange transactions and non-equity investments fall into<br />

this category of financial instruments.<br />

Impairment of financial assets<br />

Aktive assesses at the end of reporting date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group<br />

of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are<br />

incurred if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial<br />

recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of<br />

the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.<br />

For financial assets carried at amortised cost, if there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans<br />

and receivables carried at amortised cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference<br />

between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at<br />

the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use<br />

of an allowance account. The amount of the loss is recognised in the surplus or deficit for the reporting period.<br />

In determining whether there is any objective evidence of impairment, Aktive first assesses whether there is objective<br />

evidence of impairment of financial assets that are individually significant, and individually or collectively significant<br />

for financial assets that are not individually significant. If Aktive determines that there is no objective evidence of<br />

impairment for an individually assessed financial asset, it includes the asset in a group of financial asset’s with similar<br />

credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed<br />

for impairment and for which an impairment loss is or continues to be recognised are not included in a collective<br />

assessment for impairment.<br />

If in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively<br />

to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed by<br />

adjusting the allowance account. If the reversal results in the carrying amount exceeding its amortised cost,<br />

the amount of the reversal is recognised in surplus or deficit.<br />

Financial liabilities<br />

Aktive’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables (excluding GST and PAYE), employee benefits<br />

and income in advance (in respect to grants whose conditions are yet to be complied with).<br />

All financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value (plus transaction cost for financial liabilities not at fair value<br />

through surplus or deficit) and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method<br />

except for financial liabilities at fair value through surplus or deficit.


Aktive <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2015</strong>/<strong>2016</strong> 39<br />

1.4 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS<br />

Cash and cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts<br />

of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.<br />

1.5 SHORT TERM INVESTMENTS<br />

Short term investments comprise term deposits which have a term of greater than three months and therefore<br />

do not fall into the category of cash and cash equivalents.<br />

1.6 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT<br />

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.<br />

Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Where an asset is acquired<br />

through a non-exchange transaction, its cost is measured at its fair value as at the date of acquisition.<br />

Depreciation is charged on a straight line basis over the useful life of the asset. Depreciation is charged at rates<br />

calculated to allocate the cost or valuation of the asset less any estimated residual value over its remaining useful life:<br />

- Motor vehicles 20%<br />

- Office equipment 10-40%<br />

- Computer equipment 10-40%<br />

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and are adjusted<br />

if there is a change in the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits or service potential<br />

embodied in the asset.<br />

1.7 INCOME TAX<br />

The Trust has been granted exemption from income tax as it is a registered charity with the Department of<br />

Internal Affairs.<br />

1.8 GOODS AND SERVICES TAX (GST)<br />

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except for receivables and payables,<br />

which are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to,<br />

the Inland Revenue Department is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.<br />

1.9 LEASES<br />

Payments on operating lease agreements, where the lessor retains substantially the risk and rewards of ownership<br />

of an asset, are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.<br />

Payments on finance lease agreements, where the lessee retains substantially the risk and rewards of ownership<br />

of an asset, are capitalised. The asset and the corresponding liability are recorded at inception at the fair value of<br />

the leased asset.<br />

Interest charges under finance leases are apportioned over the terms of the respective leases.<br />

Capitalised leased assets are depreciated over their expected useful lives in accordance with rates established<br />

for similar assets.<br />

1.10 BORROWING COSTS<br />

All borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs<br />

that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Aktive has chosen not to capitalise borrowing<br />

costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets.<br />

1.11 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS<br />

Wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave<br />

Liabilities for wages and salaries, annual leave and accumulating sick leave are recognised in surplus or deficit during<br />

the period in which the employee provided the related services. Liabilities for the associated benefits are measured<br />

at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.


40 Aktive <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2015</strong>/<strong>2016</strong><br />

1.12 EQUITY<br />

Equity is the community’s interest in Aktive, measured as the difference between total assets and total liabilities.<br />

Equity is made up of the following components:<br />

Accumulated comprehensive revenue and expense<br />

Accumulated comprehensive revenue and expense is Aktive’s accumulated surplus or deficit since its formation,<br />

adjusted for transfers to/from specific reserves.<br />

Reserve fund for continued operations<br />

The continued successful operation of Aktive is dependent upon ongoing funding from a variety of sources.<br />

As responsible managers of the funds entrusted to it, Aktive seeks to maintain a minimum level of funds to enable<br />

Aktive to continue its operations should there be a short term interruption to usual funding levels. This reserve has<br />

been established for this purpose.<br />

1.13 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS<br />

The preparation of Aktive’s financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and<br />

assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying<br />

disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could<br />

result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future<br />

periods.<br />

Judgements<br />

In the process of applying Aktive’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements,<br />

which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:<br />

Operating lease commitments<br />

Aktive has entered into one or more operating leases.<br />

Aktive has determined, based on an evaluation of the terms and conditions of the arrangements, such as<br />

the lease term not constituting a substantial portion of the economic life of the property, that it does not retain all<br />

the significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties and accounts for the contracts as<br />

operating leases.<br />

Estimates and assumptions<br />

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date,<br />

that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within<br />

the next financial year, are described below. Aktive based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available<br />

when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments,<br />

however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising beyond the control of Aktive. Such changes<br />

are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.<br />

Useful lives and residual values<br />

The useful lives and residual values of assets are assessed using the following indicators to determine potential<br />

future use and value from disposal:<br />

- The condition of the asset<br />

- The nature of the asset, its susceptibility and adaptability to changes in technology and processes<br />

- The nature of the processes in which the asset is deployed<br />

- Availability of funding to replace the asset<br />

- Changes in the market in relation to the asset<br />

The estimated useful lives of the asset classes held by Aktive are listed in ‘Property, plant and equipment’ above.

The continued successful operation of Aktive is dependent upon ongoing funding from a variety of sources. As responsible<br />

managers of the funds entrusted to it, Aktive seeks to maintain a minimum level of funds to enable it to continue its operation<br />

should there be a short term interruption to usual funding levels.<br />

ACCUMULATED COMPREHENSIVE REVENUE AND EXPENSE<br />

In the previous financial year, grants received in relation to the provision of a service were recognised as revenue on a<br />

percentage of completion basis. However, PBE IPSAS 23 requires revenue from non-exchange transactions, such as grants,<br />

to be recognised as revenue as they are received, unless the grant meets the definition of and recognition criteria for a liability.<br />

Non-exchange revenue from grants can only be deferred and recognised as a liability if there is a condition attached to the<br />

grant that require an entity to use the grant as specified or return of the grant if the entity does not perform as specified. The<br />

‘Accumulated comprehensive revenue and expense’ reserve in the ‘Statement of financial position’ has increased from that<br />

disclosed in the previous financial year due to this different grant treatment by $1,103,333 as per table below. It is anticipated<br />

that this increase will reverse as related expenditure is incurred.<br />

We have audited the financial statements of Auckland Sport, trading as Aktive – Auckland Sport & Recreation,<br />

on pages 31 to 45 which comprise the statement of financial position as at 30 June <strong>2016</strong>, and the statement of<br />

comprehensive revenue and expense, statement of changes in net assets/equity, and statement of cash flows<br />

for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.<br />

This report is made solely to the Trustees, as a body. Our audit has been undertaken so that we might state to<br />

the Trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To<br />

the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than Auckland<br />

Sport and the Trustees as a body, for our work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.<br />

Trustees’ Responsibility for the Financial Statements<br />

The trustees are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in<br />

accordance with Public Benefit Entity Standards Reduced Disclosure Regime and for such internal control as<br />

the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material<br />

misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.<br />

Auditor’s Responsibility<br />

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our<br />

audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand).<br />

Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain<br />

reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.<br />

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the<br />

financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of<br />

the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those<br />

risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation<br />

of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not<br />

for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also<br />

includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting<br />

estimates, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.<br />

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our<br />

audit opinion.<br />

Other than in our capacity as auditor we have no relationship with, or interests in, Auckland Sport.<br />

Opinion<br />

In our opinion, the financial statements on pages 31 to 45 present fairly, in all material respects, the financial<br />

position of Auckland Sport as at 30 June <strong>2016</strong>, and its financial performance and cash flows for the year then<br />

ended in accordance with Public Benefit Entity Standards Reduced Disclosure Regime.<br />
