Sports fund applications


Rodney Local Board has backed two applications for funding for Netball Rodney and the new Mahurangi Church and Community Centre.

The $112,000 being sought for the netball centre at Wellsford’s Centennial Park would fund a feasibility study and business case to determine the future siting and ownership arrangements for the courts.

Mahurangi Presbyterian Church is seeking $65,000 to cover an escalation in costs for a sprung floor in its multisport complex. Funding allocation will be decided by Council’s Parks, Arts, Community and Events committee in September.
