Abstract

Recreation Wellington manages and delivers its programmes, services and facilities using an area model, designed to closely align provision to the needs of local communities.

This report is a catalogue of groups typically found throughout Wellington. It describes some features of the group, highlights consequences for recreation and presents opportunities and markets that are currently available to Recreation Wellington. The analysis is based on the detailed Searchlight reports prepared for each Recreation Wellington area, which uses secondary research, including data from a range of national, citywide and local sources including the Census, Department of Labour Workplace information, Quality of Life information, Community Housing, Aquatics Facility Plan, Aquatic Facilities Partnerships with Schools report, secondary school sport data. A detailed list is included in the methodology section at the end of the report.

The report is intended for area, programmes and facility personnel, enabling them to further interpret the data, confirm recreation markets, identify opportunities and develop service and programme solutions.
