Sport and recreation activities are important to the health of Dunedin people. Our role is to provide facilities that best enable these activities.
We want people to take part in a survey to answer questions about the sports they play, how the facilities meet their needs, what could be improved or changed and what type of facilities they would like in the future.
We own 85 sports facilities, including sports fields, parks, outdoor courts, bowls clubs and indoor venues such as the Edgar Centre, Forsyth Barr Stadium and gymnasiums.
Information from this survey along with feedback from representatives of sports and recreation organisations and codes will help us assess the needs of the different groups, identify any gaps and consider expected future sports and recreation trends.
We also want people to tell us if there are any cultural concerns we haven’t considered.
Water sports will not be part of the review, but we will be looking at them in the future.
We will release a plan for the future of DCC sports and recreation facilities in 2021.
