Kaiapoi disc golf approved

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

By David Hill, local democracy reporter

Disc golf is one step closer to becoming a reality in Kaiapoi.

The Kaiapoi-Tuahiwi Community Board has given its seal of approval to the establishment of a nine-hole disc golf course in the Kaiapoi Domain.

The decision followed community consultation.

Chairperson Jackie Watson said the board was ‘‘thrilled’’ to give its support after an ‘‘overwhelmingly positive’’ response from the community.

Waimakariri District Council community and recreation general manager Chris Brown said it was now up to the group behind the project to raise the necessary funds.

‘‘Once they get this they will be able to install the equipment.’’

Disc golf is similar to traditional golf, with the aim of getting a frisbee, instead of a golf ball, into a series of baskets in the fewest number of throws.
