About this project
Wellington’s public open spaces and recreational opportunities contribute a lot to our quality of life. We can’t take them for granted and need to think about their future.
We have reviewed the 2013 Our Capital Spaces Strategy and drafted Te Whai Oranga Pōneke – Open Space and Recreation Strategy. It will provide the overarching framework and strategic direction for the Council to manage its open space, and its recreation facilities, programmes and services over the next 30 years.
We heard from Wellingtonians about what they wanted for the future of open space and recreation, through the "What's your happy place?" engagement in early 2022. What we learned through this engagement is the foundation for the development of the mission, principles, focuses, and approaches proposed in this strategy.
The strategy focuses our open space and recreation planning, management, and investment towards the following five focus areas:
All submissions (including your name) are provided in their entirety to elected members and made available to the public at our office and on our website.
Personal information will also be used for the administration of the consultation process including informing you of the outcome of the consultation.
All information collected will be held by Wellington City Council, 113 The Terrace, Wellington, with submitters having the right to access and correct personal information.
