Interrogating a concept is the first step - RSL helps you build your project on solid ground.
We complete assessments on the viability of sporting and other community facilities, no matter what the size. Ranging from aquatic centres to indoor courts, high-performance training centres to community centres and sports clubrooms - we have it covered.
A feasibility study is a vital part of any proposed facility. Our independence allows us to bring together a study that is impartial and is based on years of experience in planning and operating facilities. All feasibility studies that we complete meet the requirements of all major funders.
From local fields to national networks, we help you see the big picture.
We complete a range of Local, Regional or National Facility Plans to understand the current state and future needs of communities for play, active recreation and sport.
Historically, facility development has often occurred in isolation. A facilities plan takes a broader approach and looks at how each facility operates within a networked approach.
We also complete Master Plans to understand future requirements for community, sport and recreation spaces.
Every new plan is stronger when you've learned from the last one.
Whether it is a complex strategic review or an important operational issue, we help organisations to find solutions.
Too often, an idea is pursued without considering the past context. Our review work allows you and your partner organisations to gain clarity of purpose before embarking on your next planning cycle.
Great facilities only reach their potential when people come through the doors.
We work with groups to develop strategies for play, active recreation and sport, and to bring facilities to life. We offer programme solutions that will ensure facilities thrive.
We can work alongside your organisation to help develop recreation and sport programmes (and other revenue-generating strategies) that can be easily implemented within your facility. The end goal of this approach is a vibrant, busy facility where people are active and healthy.
Over eight years and 115+ projects, our recommendations have shaped community facilities serving more than 1.2M New Zealanders.
