Rotorua Lakes Council is proposing to create a sport and recreation precinct in Westbrook, which would incorporate Westbrook Reserve, Ray Board Park, Smallbone Park, Rotorua International Stadium, Westbrook netball courts and the Springfield Golf Course.
The precinct concept is proposed to create a vibrant hub for community sport and recreation in Rotorua, matching Council’s Vision 2030 goals of creating a city that has outstanding places to play and an enhanced environment for all to enjoy.
The development would create a number of other opportunities for the community, including;
increased sport and recreation spaces
redevelopment of the Rotorua International Stadium
a venue for events to be held at a local, national and international level
potential land for a residential housing development
Council is now asking for community feedback. The feedback gathered will help inform any plans going forward, before funding options are explored, and any final proposal is prepared for submission into Council’s 2021-2031 Long Term Plan. The Long Term Plan will also provide a further opportunity for community feedback. No final decisions have been made at this time.
