Abstract

The purpose of this report is to determine the social impact on Lower Hutt City, the greater Hutt Valley and Wellington sub-regions of the proposed Petone Arena development at the Petone Recreation Ground, in terms of contributing positively to social wellbeing and building social capital in the community. The report draws on national and international literature on social capital and the relationship between sport, physical activity and recreation on the social wellbeing of a community.
