Have your say on sports spaces in Selwyn

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Selwyn residents are being asked to have their say on what sports, recreation and play spaces the district needs in the next decade.

The district council opened consultation this week on its Draft Sport, Active Recreation and Play, Spaces and Places Plan.

Residents have until Friday, December 9 to share feedback on the provision of spaces and places to support sport, active recreation and play in Selwyn over the next 10 years.

"We have been working with local clubs, organisations and educators to help prepare the draft Plan, but wider community feedback will be key," council community services and facilities group manager Denise Kidd said.

“Sports and recreation are a big part of what makes Selwyn a great place to live. We’re seeing big growth in our sports clubs and in the use of our parks and sports facilities. We want to encourage that and make sure we’ve got what is needed to meet what the community wants now and into the future.”

Submissions will help the council build on what the sector has told it so far and allow for community views to be considered in the decision-making.

The council said it would review all feedback before approving the final plan.
