Strategic Plan

A message from our Chief Executive

During the development of this strategic plan I have been struck by how it both looks ahead to a transformative future and back for guidance on the purpose of our regional sports trust.

When Sport Bay of Plenty was established in 1987 there was a very clear intent to support the enablers of physical activity in our rohe. That intent remains strong today.

Our Strategic Plan 2022 - 26 signals a new era in our mahi. Inactivity has increased across Aotearoa in the last 15 years. Research and insights also paint a compelling picture about the populations and communities that have fallen behind in terms of opportunities and participation.

Shifting the dial requires a focused and deliberate effort from al players. This plan is therefore very deliberate in its goals to get the less active more active, and to draw on partnerships and advocacy to create a highly collaborative, capable and functioning physical activity system in the Bay of Plenty.

Thanks must go to our board on their willingness to take such brave steps into a new era, and for the time they put into assessing and analysing our strategic intent. Guided by a focused strategic plan, and with the support of a great team and partners, I'm confident we will succeed in our mission to transform lives through physical activity.
