In 2023, drainage improvement works were completed on the Takahiwai rugby field.

The next phase of the project included the replacement of existing sports field lights, so games and training could be undertaken in low light conditions. This work was carried out by Davco Electrical Services Ltd.

The adjacent hardcourts were also run-down and were replaced with a fully fenced, multi-code court.

Works included removing the existing courts, installing improved drainage, laying a new asphalt court with line markings for basketball, netball, tennis and volleyball. Installation of electrical ducts in preparation for a future lighting project were also included. This work was undertaken by Robinson Asphalt Ltd.

Both works were part of our 2021 Active Recreation and Sports strategy, which aspires to meet the current and future sport facility needs in the district.

Works for the lighting upgrade started in late March 2024 with the new poles and light fittings installed by July 2024.

The multi-code court replacement commenced on 2 April 2024 and was completed by late July 2024.
