Help with Outdoor Recreation Asset Mapping in Waitaha Canterbury
Sport Canterbury are excited to share an upcoming initiative aimed at strengthening active recreation across Waitaha Canterbury. The Outdoor Recreation Asset Mapping project is being delivered in partnership by Sport Canterbury and the Christchurch City Council Active Communities Team. The project aims to help build a clearer understanding of the region’s current outdoor recreation spaces, places, programmes, and opportunities.
This mahi will enable identify gaps, celebrate strengths, and support future planning so the local sport and recreation sector can better enable participation for rangatahi, their whānau, and wider communities. Over the coming months, we’ll be working closely with partners, gathering local insights, and developing a comprehensive regional picture to guide smarter investment, collaboration, and decision‑making.
Submissions are requested from any organisation that delivers, supports, hosts, or enables outdoor recreation opportunities in Ōtautahi Christchurch. The survey should ideally be completed by someone with a broad overview of your organisation’s outdoor recreation programmes - such as a manager, coordinator, team lead, or senior practitioner. It takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes to complete. The survey closes on Friday 17th April 2026.
Ngā mihi nui to everyone contributing their time, expertise, and local knowledge.
