Survey to help prioritise future sport, recreation
The Christchurch City Council is surveying sport and recreation
associations in Canterbury to find out what major facilities the region has
and who is using them, so it can help plan what will be needed in the
future. The Council has sent out more than 150 questionnaires asking
associations about their membership levels and the facilities they use. It
wants to put together a complete set of information about the location
of facilities, their cost, condition and access; what special facilities are used
such as playing surfaces and lighting); and about any plans to build new
facilities, or improve or leave existing facilities. The information will be used to develop a Sport and Recreation
Facilities Strategy to prioritise the future provision of major sport and
recreation facilities in the city. A small Steering Group of people knowledgeable in a broad range of
recreation and sports provision has been formed to drive the project and
help prioritise the needs identified. For more information, see www.ccc.govt.nz/Recreation/Strategy/on
