New facility for New Brighton - first of its kind in NZ

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Plans for a $2.2 million sports facility in New Brighton started coming to fruition last week when the group’s lease of two spaces in Rāwhiti Domain totalling 4325m2 was granted.

The area leased included the tennis and netball courts, which the group planned to relay and cover with a Canadian built $1.3 million kit-set canopy. The first of its kind in New Zealand.

The majority of public submissions during consultation in May were in support of the idea, only seven out of 62 being against. Five submissions supported the idea but expressed concern about reduced public access to the tennis courts.
