After months of consultation, research, planning and preparation, the basketball community’s Strengthen and Adapt (S&A) Plan has been given the green light to proceed with an initial $3 million budget. We believe this will grow as more supporters and partners throughout New Zealand back this plan. For more, see the S&A webpage here.
The Plan’s origins dates back to 2020 when the Government announced a wider $265m investment to assist the sports sector in its short, medium, and long-term recovery after COVID-19 hit for the first time. The aim is to help the sport sector to achieve three outcomes:
- Reset and rebuild
- Strengthen and adapt
- Different and better.
More on the $265m investment can be found on the Sport NZ website here.
