Way2Go Case Study
What is Way2Go?
Way2Go is the Nelson Tasman Active Communities project with the aim being to increase the physical activity levels of the community - with a focus on those who are aware they should be active but currently are not. These are termed Support Seekers and Others Oriented.
Way2Go has working partners who have formed a Steering Group to manage and guide the project.
These partners consist of:
- Sport & Recreation New Zealand (SPARC)
- Tasman District Council (TDC)
- Nelson City Council (NCC)
- Tasman Regional Sports Trust (Sport Tasman)
- Nelson Bays Primary Health (PHO)
- Nelson Marlborough District Health Board (DHB)
Way2Go Key Objectives
- Ensure the community is well-informed of physical activity options and benefits
- Introduce multiple strategies via regional community “Hubs”
- “Think regionally – act locally”
- Remove barriers to participation - making the active choice an easy choice
Way2Go Hubs
Due to the size of the Nelson/ Tasman region, local Way2Go Hubs have been established to meet local community physical activity needs. “Think regionally – act locally” - making the active choice the easy choice.
These Hubs are based at:
• Golden Bay: Golden Bay Community Workers
• Motueka: Motueka Recreation Centre
• Richmond: Tasman Recreational Resource Centre
• Moutere: Moutere Hills Community Centre
• Victory: Victory Community Centre, Nelson
• Nelson: The New Hub (Youth Centre), Nelson
• Murchison: Community Resource centre
• South East Stoke: House44
• Tahunanui: Tahunanui Community Centre
Each Way2Go Hub has a Way2Go Coordinator that works between 5-15 hours per week. Hubs respond to community need ensuring the same emphasis is put on rural and isolated communities, as it is in urban communities.
