Progress<br />

1: Underactive<br />

Aucklanders are<br />

More Active<br />

Participation in sport, play and active<br />

recreation by currently underactive or inactive<br />

Aucklanders is increased.<br />

a) Underactive or inactive tamariki and rangatahi (5 to 18 years)* participation rates in play,<br />

sport, active recreation and physical education are significantly increased<br />

b) Underactive or inactive young females (5 to 18 years)* participation rates in play, sport,<br />

• COVID-19 has significantly impacted participation rates for young people<br />

- This is particularly evident in organised sports where participation rates are down 20% compared to 2019 (Source: Active NZ)<br />

- The impact on organised sport has particularly affected male participation rates, especially Māori and Pacific boys and young men<br />

active recreation and physical education are significantly increased<br />

- While the percentage of young Aucklanders doing 420+ minutes of exercise a week is lower than the national average, and has decreased during subsequent<br />

c) Sport and recreation organisations have tamariki and rangatahi as their top participation<br />

lockdowns, the gender gap (both nationally and in Auckland) has almost closed (Source: Active NZ). A potential explanation for this is the decrease in organised sport<br />

priority.<br />

negatively impacting male participation and increase in active recreation positively impacting female participation<br />

• 100 identified primary and intermediate schools/kura (61,838 students) received support from the Healthy Active Learning workforce. Due to the success in these schools/<br />

kura, a further 100 schools/kura have been identified to receive support as part of Healthy Active Learning phase 2 in Term 3 <strong>2022</strong>.<br />

• Despite the challenges of COVID-19, Water Skills for Life lessons were delivered to 48 schools; 22 of which were Healthy Active Learning schools.<br />

• Of the 562 Tū Manawa Active Aotearoa funding applications, 332 were approved and benefitted 188,284 participants for projects related to Play ($544,140), Active<br />

Recreation ($2,948,345) and Sport ($1,867,891)<br />

2: Anywhere,<br />

anytime activity<br />

All Aucklanders have sport, play and active<br />

recreation choice, which provides flexibility,<br />

Play, sport and active recreation providers adapt to the needs of tamariki and rangatahi in<br />

designing more relevant, flexible and accessible offerings.<br />

Play<br />

• The percentage of young people reporting participation in Play has increased compared to 2019, with Auckland no longer below the national average for<br />

meets the needs of a changing population, and<br />

participation in play (Source: Active NZ)<br />

encourages physical activity as part of daily life.<br />

• However there are still gaps in terms of gender and ethnicity (Source: Active NZ): Asian tamariki report less participation in play than other ethnicities, and girls tend to<br />

report less participation in play than boys<br />

• The Neighbourhood Play System Pilot ended in June <strong>2022</strong>, and its success will see this system roll out in <strong>2022</strong>/23<br />

• $544,140 of Tū Manawa funds were approved for play-related projects<br />

Sport and active recreation<br />

• COVID-19 restrictions saw a decrease in organised sport but an increase in active recreation<br />

• National trends show that return to organised sport has been slow, with young people choosing active recreation activities instead (Source: Active NZ <strong>2021</strong>)<br />

• Areas of increase include walking for fitness (+12%), cycling (+4%), and weight/cardio workouts (+4%)<br />

• Areas of decrease include swimming (–7%), athletics/track and field (–6%) and football (–4%)<br />

• 22 schools across Auckland participated in the Voice of Rangatahi Survey, resulting in almost 3000 responses from Auckland students and comprising 21.5% of total<br />

survey respondents. An 'Insights to Action' initiative was piloted in five schools, using insights from the survey to make changes within the school that would encourage<br />

more physical activity<br />

• $2.9 million of Tū Manawa funds were approved for active recreation projects<br />

• $1.8 million of Tū Manawa funds were approved for sport projects.<br />

3: Great spaces<br />

and places<br />

Planning, urban design and infrastructure<br />

investment delivers safe, flexible, and easy-<br />

Aktive is recognised for its advocacy and advice on sport and recreation facilities in<br />

Auckland.<br />

• The HERA Tick pilot is being run in five facilities across Auckland: Vector Wero, AUT Millennium, Ōtahuhu Pools & Leisure Centre, Albany Tennis Park and Manurewa<br />

Leisure Centre<br />

to-access sport, play and active recreation<br />

• Aktive led the development of the Diamond Sports Regional Facility Plan: a 10-year plan that will positively impact up to 24 softball and baseball clubs,<br />

environments.<br />

comprising approximately 565 teams, across the region<br />

• Aktive provided ad hoc advice to 30 organisations around the development of play, active recreation and sport facilities<br />

• Aktive was invited to join the Regional Sport and Recreation Facilities Operating Grant Assessment Panel. This panel successfully allocated $1 million to<br />

12 important regional and subregional facilities across Auckland for the next three financial years<br />

• The advocacy work that Aktive undertook regarding Lotteries Funding throughout Auckland contributed to an increase in the number of projects applied for and approved<br />

compared to 2019 (Source: OIA Request 21/22 0877).<br />

4: Keeping pace<br />

with a changing<br />

Auckland<br />

Sport and recreation organisations are<br />

representative of and relevant to Auckland’s<br />

communities and can adapt to change.<br />

a) Sport and recreation organisations have more inclusive leadership<br />

b) Sport and recreation organisations are using technology and shared resources to<br />

increase participation and improve organisational efficiency<br />

• Māori and Pacific peoples have been most impacted by COVID-19 as reflected in their participation rates. (Source: Active NZ)<br />

- Pacific boys and young men have been one of the most negatively impacted groups with only 39.9% doing 420+ minutes of exercise a week (compared to a 58.7%<br />

national average for all ethnicities and genders (Source: Active NZ)<br />

c) Sport and recreation organisations have more inclusive leadership<br />

• The majority (200, 63%) of respondents in ActivAsian's 'Impact of COVID-19 Restrictions on the Physical Activity Level of Asian Communities across Tāmaki Makaurau<br />

d) Sport and recreation organisations are using technology and shared resources to<br />

Auckland' self-reported an overall decrease in activity during the August to December COVID-19 restrictions in Auckland<br />

increase participation and improve organisational efficiency.<br />

- However, participants who had already built-up exercise habits were less likely to report a decrease in exercise<br />

- Active NZ data only shows a minor decrease in Asian tamariki and rangatahi activity levels in Tāmaki Makaurau, however these are still significantly lower (40.3% for<br />

boys and 36.6% for girls) than the national average (Source: Active NZ).<br />
