Play policy

We’re making a commitment to reflect a playful, fun and flexible approach in all our public spaces, facilities, events and activities.

The policy will guide Council’s decision-making and commitment to provide a range of play opportunities in several operational areas:

  • Parks and reserves planning, management and development
  • Facility programming and development e.g. at libraries and aquatic centres
  • Urban design response to public space infrastructure development
  • Placemaking activities such as street activation
  • Community events and activities
  • Support to strategic partners such as Rangitāne o Manawatū and Sport Manawatū

A review will be planned from 2024-25.
