Leisure, Open Space and Facility Planners

The Global Leisure Group Ltd (GLG) is a consortium of leisure, open space and facility planners based in New Zealand and Australia. The group’s focus is on providing ‘leading edge’ leisure consultancy services in the Pacific.

	Expertise
	Recreation, sport and open space planning	By working closely with the client and with communities, and by using proven methodologies, GLG is able to develop sound, exciting and – most importantly – effective recreation plans. The team has extensive experience in the areas of sports facilities, reserve management planning, arts and cultural resources, tourism services and organisational development.
	Feasibility studies	GLG recognises the significance of realistic and honest feasibility studies. If research, financial critique and trend analysis shows that a prospective development is a bad idea, we will let you know. Where a development is feasible, we will clearly identify the necessary resourcing and management targets.
	Long-term community planning	Not only is long-term planning for delivering community services common sense, it is a statutory obligation. GLG is a leader in developing effective long-term community plans for leisure services, with a focus on linking outcomes with outputs.
	Expert evidence	All members of GLG are experienced in the preparation of assessments of environmental effects for leisure issues, and the delivery of expert evidence at resource consent and other planning hearings.
	Asset management planning	GLG recognises that quantifying the long-term investments required to sustain an agency’s suite of assets is a fundamental planning requirement. GLG is able to develop asset management plans to help support a resource manager’s objectives for sustainable community development (including ‘triple bottom line reporting’), and to satisfy the myriad of statutory obligations facing public bodies.
