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 contains a community and market analysis that identifies key features of the Northern area, highlights consequences for recreation and presents opportunities and markets that are currently available to Recreation Wellington.

The analysis uses secondary research, including data from a range of national, city-wide 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.
