Tairāwhiti faces a critical shortage of indoor court facilities. This was highlighted by the Sport New Zealand National Facilities Strategy for Indoor Sports, which ranks it with the lowest public indoor court availability per capita in New Zealand.

Despite longstanding barriers to indoor recreation, recent efforts including our community facilities strategy aim to address the issue. The Tairāwhiti sports facilities business case, a collaborative initiative involving strategic partners Gisborne District Council, Trust Tairāwhiti and Sport Gisborne -Tairāwhiti, outlines a comprehensive plan for regional recreational facility projects.
