RSL was commissioned to undertake a feasibility study to understand the need for a youth centre, or network of centres, as a proactive response to supporting rangatahi across Tauranga City.   

RSL Consultancy partnered with a design firm to develop a business case which explored the concept of Play in the City and enabled Invercargill City Council (ICC) to consider a range of options for investment in urban play in Invercargill. 

In the development of this Regional Strategy, an expanded version of a standard strategic planning approach was used. This methodology provided a robust planning approach, in line with industry good practice. It also ensured alignment across the multiple plans being developed. This resulted in reliable, highly usable documents.
