Honour Te Tiriti o Waitangi:

Sports and the art of playing and recreation have been core parts of Māori society for over a thousand years so tākaro Māori should be recognised and supported.

Ecological Wisdom:

Communities need access to the natural environment and public open space for a range of recreational opportunities, whilst ensuring sensitive ecological habitats are protected.

Social Responsibility:

Recreational and sporting activities should be accessible to all, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity or disability, and should be equitably resourced.
