Matamata-Piako District Council and Sport Waikato work in partnership for the delivery of services that support the people of the district to access play, active recreation, and sport opportunities. By working together as lead agencies of the Plan, we will deliver a coordinated and clear pathway of activity for the provision of play active recreation and sport for the Matamata-Piako District.

The purpose of this Plan is to provide guidance and direction to organisations (e.g., sports clubs, schools, etc) who support and provide for lay, active recreation, and sport in the Matamata-Piako District. It provides a strategic framework for investment in play, active recreation and sport in the district using evidence from a range of national, regional, and local sources (e.g., local play, active recreation and sport providers, community members) to map current and future priorities that will enhance the participation levels and experiences of people and communities in Matamata-Piako.

This plan supersedes the Matamata-Piako District Sports Facilities and Development Plan 2018-28.
