3.3 Other Government Agencies Involved in Recreation and Sport The organisations noted above operate within a broad context of central government action. A range of government policy areas, government departments and associated non-government agencies also impact on recreation and sport. Although the level of involvement of each of these varies considerably they all have associated legislation and funding responsibilities which impact directly or indirectly on recreation and sport. 3.3.1 Territorial Local Authorities (TLAs) and Regional Councils Territorial Local Authorities and some Regional Councils play a major role in leisure and recreation through the provision of community facilities, parks and recreational services, maintenance of waterways services and access roads, the implementation of bylaws and policy outcomes for recreational users. In 2000 there are 74 Territorial Local Authorities and 12 Regional Councils operative under the Local Government Act. For recreation and sport, Territorial Local Authorities provide playgrounds, playing fields, access to waterways, walking tracks, swimming pools and dry land facilities. Collectively, local government commits $450 million to the provision of recreation and sport. In the 1999/00 year recreation and sport expenditure involved commitments towards community centres, halls and venues, swimming pools, parks and reserves and other recreation programmes. This expenditure involved the following: Activity Expenditure 1999/00 Community Centres, Halls and Venues $62,924,071 Swimming Pools $69,546,733 Parks and Reserves $225,080,905 Other Recreation $95,352,819 $452,904,528 3.3.2 Department of Conservation Source: Local Government New Zealand (1999-00) The Department of Conservation is a significant provider of outdoor recreation opportunities in New Zealand through the provision and management of 14 National Parks.
