Abstract

The Open Space, Sport and Recreation Strategy (replacing the District Leisure Plan 1999), addresses the key issues and emerging trends discussed in the Background Document dated August 2014, by providing a strategic framework to plan for open space, sport and recreation for the community for the next 30 years.

The strategy identifies New Plymouth District Council’s level of service for providing open space and recreation facilities that meet community recreational needs. It includes criteria to guide decision making for buying or disposing of open space and identifies opportunities for improving and enhancing recreational opportunities (such as bridle trails and mountain bike tracks).
