Waipā District Council
At the time of writing this report Waipā District Council owned seventeen sports parks that were leased, either in their entirety or on a sub-lease, to fifteen different sports clubs.
The report and subsequent investigation sought to understand whether the current lease model was fit for purpose or if there were other options that would better serve the community and associated sports field user groups. The desired outcome of the investigation was a recommended way forward that would ensure a high-quality network of safe and accessible sport fields in Waipā, which enables and inspires residents to get active, support a strong event calendar, and contributes to placemaking and environmental outcomes.
Council wanted to ensure that the recommended option would deliver a high-quality, future-proofed sports field network that would meet the needs of the Waipā community now and into the future.
