Indoor Community Sports Centre - Location Review

Independent Review of Location

In March 2009, Mayor Kerry Prendergast offered an independent review to Councillor Andy Foster following his appeal to the Environment Court against the resource consent that had been granted for the Indoor Community Sports Centre at Cobham Drive Park. The Council agreed to this review on 5 March and noted that Councillor Foster said he would withdraw from the appeal as he agreed with the Terms of Reference.

Respected business and sporting community leader Sir John Anderson agreed to carry out the wide-ranging review into the proposal to build the centre and compare the proposed site at Cobham Drive Park in Kilbirnie with an alternative site on the Westpac Stadium Concourse. His report, released 15 April 2009, confirmed Cobham Drive Park as the preferred site.
