Was wondering if anyone could help…
Hamilton City Council has a Play Strategy and my colleague Damien Puddle is tasked with bringing it to life by infusing ‘play’ into various activities our organisation and community.
He’s currently at the research stag and was wondering if anybody aware of any local examples of district plans (urban planning or development plans/guidance, etc.) that have successfully anchored play or play related aspects into it – especially anything that goes beyond formal playgrounds?
If anyone knows of any examples, locally or overseas, please get in touch on this forum or to Damien directly 😊

A couple from us:
Building triggers
Our Recreation Zones have building size provisions to control the bulk of buildings on parks, e.g. a permitted site coverage by buildings no more than 1-2% of the net area of a park depending on whether it’s a citywide destination reserve or a local reserve.
These provisions would trigger play equipment, sculptures, toilet blocks, shade structures, marquees and stages as buildings, often restricting the opportunities for additional amenities that would contribute to an enhanced play experience and achieving the ‘Power of 10’ principle. A classic case would be that a large marquee for an event in a park would technically trigger a resource consent in some parks, which would either force the event organiser to abandon the idea due to application costs or push them further into relying on external funding to support a consent application.
In the last Recreation Zones review we exempted these kind of amenities from contributing to the permitted site coverage restrictions. See Rule 15.4.3.2 (a-b) of the Recreation Zones here.
Noise triggers
We do receive complaints from time to time by people unsatisfied with the general noise of people playing and enjoying the park. We’ve been lucky to have a very clear rule that Crowd noise from people in a Park or Reserve is considered a reasonable and acceptable effect of the use of recreation reserves and as such shall not be controlled using rules in this Plan. (Rule 15.4.7.1).
We have some longstanding events that we wish to protect from reverse-sensitivity effects, so have Specially Organised Events rules for specific users of parks with special notification, hours of operation, and mechanical noise rules to allow them to deviate from the daily noise limits for a handful of occasions a year. E.g. Rule 15.6.4.1 (b) for allowing the Manawatū Model Boat Racing Club to run open days at the Hokowhitu Lagoon.
Signage triggers
One area that is challenging for us is that the signage rules are somewhat of a catch-all, so can end up triggering projection-mapping for a resource consent at times. This has been a barrier to some of our local artists and design students from incorporating light and building form into playful and spontaneous experiences for the public at night.
I’m keen to hear what other people have faced around the country!
