Illustration for Sport and Recreation New Zealand Act 2002

An agency called Sport and Recreation New Zealand is established. You can think of the Agency as a part of the government that helps with sport and recreation. It is a Crown entity, which means it is an organisation that is owned and controlled by the government, for the purposes of section 7 of the Crown Entities Act 2004.

The Crown Entities Act 2004 applies to the Agency, which means the Agency has to follow the rules in that Act, unless this Act says otherwise. This helps the Agency know what it can and can't do. The Agency has to follow the rules to make sure it is working properly.
