          Sport and Recreations Strategy

          Our Vision

          A healthy community that supports lifelong participation in sport and recreation: Ashburton District, More Active, More Often!

           

          Why do we need a strategy?

          The purpose of the strategy is to identify ways to get more people in the district to be more active, more often. The strategy provides direction pathways for improving participation in sport and recreation in Ashburton District over the next ten years. It identifies clear goals and actions that will help us to do this together as a community.

          As a district we are in the fortunate position of having varied opportunities, outstanding natural environments and dedicated skilled volunteers.

          Our goals and objectives for building on this strong foundation are:

           

          Goal One

          Our district has outstanding facilities and environments for sport and recreation

           

           

          Goal Two

           

          We have a strong and capable volunteer sector supporting sport and recreation in our district

           

           

          Goal Three

          Our sport and recreation clubs and organisations are future driven

           

           

          Goal Four

          We are actively involved in sport and recreation throughout our lives

          What is Active Ashburton?

          Active Ashburton helped to develop the revised Sport and Recreation Strategy 2010. They now oversee the implementation of the actions from this strategy.
