Section One: The New Zealand water safety sector Cross Sector Reference Group & the development process of the 2021 - 2025 strategy
The water safety sector Cross Section Reference Group (CSRG)
The water safety sector CSRG was established by sector agreement at the Water Safety New Zealand AGM in late 2014. The group is committed to improving water safety in New Zealand, and is made up of 10 leading organisations in the water safety space.
The CSRG is committed to collaborating, consulting, developing and implementing the Water Safety Sector Strategy. In 2015 the CSRG developed and published the first New Zealand Water Safety Sector Strategy 2020.
This document is the next iteration of the 2015 strategy, and will be known as the New Zealand Water Safety Sector Strategy 2021-2025. The strategy has been developed by the CSRG in consultation with a wide group of water safety stakeholders and a broad cross-section of multi-sectorial related agencies, that each have a part to play in drowning prevention and water safety in Aotearoa, New Zealand.
