HPSNZ 2025-2028 Strategic Plan launched

Evolution rather than revolution is the description of the HPSNZ 2025-2028 Strategic Plan, published this month.

HPSNZ Director of High Performance Steve Tew says there are no surprises because this 2025-2028 Strategic Plan marks phase two of the three phase delivery of the 2032 High Performance System Strategy.

“The outstanding results in Paris and the way the performances of Kiwis athletes at the Olympic and Paralympic Games, both in and out of competition, resonated with New Zealanders shows us that our high performance sport system is moving in the right direction.”

The strategic plan outlines how HPSNZ will continue to work in partnership with NSOs to support their athletes, coaches and environments.

“One thing that won’t change is that we will always have athletes’ and coaches’ performance and wellbeing at the centre of everything we do.”  

This Strategic Plan reflects both the 2032 High Performance System Strategy and HPSNZ’s 2024 Strategy in its three Strategic Focus Areas: Performance Pathways; Wellbeing and Engagement; and Sustainable Investment.  

“However, we have consulted with our people, with our NSO partners and with athlete representative groups to capture our learnings and adjust to the changes around us. That’s helped us work through where we need to adapt and evolve.”  

The new strategic plans highlights the need for sustainability in several contexts, the drive for repeatable success, the need for the system to be financially sustainable and to factor climate change into decision making and planning.  

The Strategic Plan details four specific Strategic Priorities:  

  • Support targeted athletes to succeed on the world stage
  • Enhance system capability to ensure that wellbeing is everyone’s right and everyone’s responsibility
  • Enhance collaboration, capability and sustainability of the high performance system
  • Build system capability to increase the use of quality data to support performance and investment decision making. 


The Strategic Plan includes a Sport New Zealand Group Strategy on a Page, the first time a Group Strategy has been developed. It outlines how HPSNZ and Sport NZ work in different but connected ways across the end-to-end physical activity and sport pathway.
