Matarangi multi-sport facility proposal

Thames-Coromandel District Council is exploring a proposal to convert one of its Matarangi tennis courts into a multi-use sports facility, providing predominantly for netball and basketball. 

The proposal to help reduce barriers to be active has come from the local community following a survey of more than 30 local residents reflecting strong support for the idea. It also has the backing of Sport Waikato, Mercury Bay Netball and Matarangi Residents and Ratepayers Association. 

The proposed multi-use court in Matarangi is expected to help cater for local child and adult netball and basketball teams, local families, and visitors. 

Local players are travelling to Whitianga or other towns for practice and games and the netball and basketball codes are only expected to grow in years to come. 

The proposal suggests the Council tennis courts on Matarangi Drive, near the entrance to Matarangi, as the preferred site. 

Our Council would like to hear from the wider community what it thinks.  

If approved, the proposed conversion is expected to be part-funded through grants and other fundraising opportunities.
