Active Waitakere - Move It

Te Waka ki Mua Move It Waitakere is a plan for Waitakere that has been developed to get more people more active more often. The action plan looks at how to get our city to “Move It” in a number of different ways, from participating in sport, to walking during your lunch break, to gardening or dancing.

With getting and staying active becoming such an important aspect of the lives of our community, many organisations have come together to make this happen. Whether you choose to be active for fun, health, competition, friendships or sharing time with your family there will be opportunities for you.

The key areas of focus for Te Waka ki Mua Move It are;

• Active Children and Youth
• Active Families and Green Prescription
• Active Seniors
• Active Every Day
• Active Diverse Populations
• Active Environments
• Active Participation in Sport
• Active Leadership and Collaboration

Exciting new initiatives will be developed as well as adding to the great opportunities that already exist.
