Combining the five key areas and target
Greater Auckland Aquatic
Action Plan (GAAAP)
priority groups of The Auckland Approach
to Community Sport, Aktive leads and
facilitates a number of initiatives designed
to meet Tāmaki Makaurau’s growing, diverse
population and changing needs.
Girls aged 10 to 18 years are identified as a target priority group in
The Auckland Approach to Community Sport. A valuable insight
from this group is understanding that every girl wants different
things from being active and views being active differently.
A strong focus on helping children and low participation
communities to be more active underpin The Auckland Approach
to Community Sport. These aspects are central to GAAAP.
An award-winning initiative under The Auckland Approach to
Community Sport, Good Sports aims to create positive sporting
experiences for Kiwi children by supporting and educating
the key adult influencers in children’s sport: parents, coaches,
These Auckland-wide initiatives are
supported by key strategic funders,
implemented by delivery partners, and
result in increased sport and recreation
opportunities for Aucklanders.
HERA – Everyday Goddess empowers girls aged 10 to
18 years to become active for life by supporting girls
to enjoy, participate and become more engaged in
physical activity.
Targeting low decile schools (1-6) and years 3-6
students, GAAAP is a collaborative project that
coordinates the delivery of Water Skills for Life
to primary school aged children across Auckland.
It is managed by Aktive in partnership with CLM
Community Sport, Harbour Sport, Sport Auckland and
