Waitaki Event Centre

Support our new community facility and make the Waitaki District proud.

The six court, Network Waitaki Event Centre, will be more than just a sports centre, it will provide meeting rooms, offices, performance spaces, conference options, activities for all ages and the flexibility to let our imagination create exciting opportunities for all.  

The Waitaki District Council has committed up to $15 million towards the project, with contributions from other businesses in the Waitaki District - including naming rights for Network Waitaki

Doug and Donna Hurst have generously pledged to match every dollar given to the project by local families and businesses, up to $5 million, to help create a "wonderful legacy for the community".

Current funding is $28 million with a total project cost expected of $32 million. The $32 million is made up of $26 million for the build and $6 million for ancillary costs.

With just $4 million remaining, it's time for the Waitaki District to come together to fundraise for the new facility.
