Deal with facility challenges
Discover how to work with us and solve your sport and recreation facility challenges
Sport Taranaki works across the region to support clubs, organisations and groups facing facilities challenges.
Taranaki is facing several challenges relating to sport and active recreation facilities that need to be addressed so that burdens are not left for future generations.
The challenges include;
These challenges are further compounded by rising cost of living and the climate crisis.
It is important that we work together to create a collaborative, accessible and sustainable network of complementary active environments across Taranaki.
Below is the 2023 Strategy and Framework for the provision of quality spaces and places for sport, active recreation and play in Taranaki.
The Strategy outlines the why this work is important, our values, principles and a process by which facility projects can be guided to enhanced outcomes for community.
Our Spaces & Places team is here to help.

The Taranaki Facilities Consortium is a collective of nine partners and their representatives from across the region that agree given the issues we are facing with sport, active recreation and play facilities that we must take a collaborative approach to better meet the needs of our communities.
If you are dealing with a facility challenge, require support or are planning to seek funding for a facility project the TFC would like to hear from you. You should contact the TFC in the early planning stages of your project.

Case Studies & Resources
During the development of the Taranaki Equestrian Facilities plan, we were in touch with all 56 equine organisations in Taranaki, looking at the state of existing facilities, our riding landscape and understanding our participants.
Thank you to the 501 people who responded to the survey, helping us to build a clear picture of Equestrian in our region.
The Facilities Plan highlights key challenges facing Equestrian in Taranaki and makes recommendations about the priorities for future facility provision.
The Facilities Plan has highlighted the need for Equestrian to work more closely, in partnership to realise a more sustainable future.
Achieving the recommendations in the plan will take all of us – we are excited to be along for the journey!
