Parks & Open Spaces and Sport Facilities Strategy

This strategy provides an overarching framework to guide decisions on parks, open spaces and sporting facilities.

The framework consists of a vision and nine core principles that will inform future decision making. It is deliberately aspirational, and the Council considers this an opportunity to be proactive in stewardship without limiting community innovation and energy.

The framework is the foundation of the Parks, Open Spaces and Sporting Facilities Strategy.

Through the framework and core principles the strategy aligns to the Rangitīkei District Council’s Strategic Vision of a connected, progressive and resilient community where community enjoys living, working and playing together.
