Sports and recreation survey
Are you involved in sport and recreation in the South Wairarapa? If so, we would love to hear from you.
We are surveying the community to understand the needs, challenges and opportunities for South Wairarapa sports clubs and recreational groups, to help Council understand what support can be provided for now and into the future.
Sports and recreation activities bring great value to our communities, helping us to stay physically active and healthy, and connecting people and communities.
We’ve been working with a Sports and Recreation Advisory Group and created two surveys to learn more about what is needed for our sports and recreation community to operate and thrive.
The delegate’s survey is tailored for sports clubs or people who organise recreational groups/rōpū in the South Wairarapa. This survey will take approximately 25 minutes to complete and only requires one delegate from your club or recreational group to complete it.
The participant’s survey is open to anyone that participates in sports or recreation activities in the South Wairarapa. This survey will take approximately 4-5 minutes to complete.
*This survey closes on 14 January 2025.

Your feedback will be shared with Council and help them to consider how to plan for the future.
