An update on the Netsal Centre at Ngā Puna Wai Sports Hub 

Find out about the latest developments, as well as an opportunity to meet the team and ask questions in person now that the COVID-19 Protection Framework has moved to Orange.

Kia ora, 

Netsal is planning to start construction on the new Netsal Centre facility in early winter of this year. It will take about 12 months to build.

During construction, Netsal’s contractors will primarily use McMahon Drive to access the site. This is to keep construction traffic away from the large number of vehicles that daily access the Sports Hub via Augustine Drive. However, on occasions oversized vehicles that cannot manoeuvre past the McMahon Drive roundabout will need to use Augustine Drive.

We’re also starting to develop the future transport improvements for Ngā Puna Wai Sports Hub. This includes the development of a new entrance at Wigram Road, increased car parking capacity to support everyday activity and events, and linking up cycleways and shared pathways through Ngā Puna Wai Sports Hub. All of these measures are to minimise parking on nearby residential streets. 

Now that the COVID-19 Protection Framework has moved to Orange, we’ve organised an information session to discuss the future phases of the Netsal development and the wider Ngā Puna Wai traffic management plan, and to meet the contractors. 

Tuesday 31 May
5.30pm–6.30pm
Te Kōhanga o Ngā Puna Wai café
Augustine Drive, Halswell
