Sportsville is a concept that aims to bring an economy of scale across the provision of services for clubs and community groups, while providing their services to their community and members.  What that basically means is multiple clubs and/or community groups using the same facility to operate out of  who work together to share resources, costs, ideas and space.

Lately, Sport Tasman has been assisting communities to establish the Sportsville concept through the development of brand new community sport, recreation and cultural facilities by selling the concept and with Council support guiding communities through the initial stages of development.

Not only can Sport Tasman assist a community with the initial stages of facility development, but we also have the expertise and resources to assist with the management of Sportsville facilities after the development stage has been completed.

Examples of facilities Sport Tasman has assisted are:

• Moutere Hills Community Centre
• Murchison Sport, Recreation and Cultural Centre
• Endeavour Park Pavilion
• Golden Bay Facility
• Giesen Sports and Events Centre

In addition to Sport Tasman support and assistance we have resources that aim to help and support all Sportsville and Community Facility groups and organisations covering Governance, Staff and Volunteers, Financial Managment and Centre Operations.  You can download these below.

	Governance The “Governance” resource aims to help and support all Sportsville and community facility governance boards to govern their organisations more effectively and efficiently.  This assistance includes the role of the governing body, job descriptions for the Secretary, Treasurer and Chairperson of the organisation, meeting procedures (i.e. AGM), information on the Privacy Act 1993 and Charities Act 2005 and more.
	Staff and Volunteers The ‘Staff and Volunteers’ resource provides valuable information on the recruitment, retention and training of staff and includes many templates for you to simply fill in the gaps.  In addition to this is an employee handbook covering examples of health and safety guidelines and various other policies and procedures from holidays and leave entitlements to probationary periods and performance appraisals to disciplinary procedures and more!
