About the Project

From its beginnings as a plan to combine the redevelopment of facilities in both Wakefield and Brightwater, the project is now split into two separate parts.

‘Our Place’ is the Wakefield part – the focus of our work, your support and this website – with a dedicated budget, a project manager and our own Project Advisory Group with the TDC.

Hub Business Plan

How can our community and the Tasman District Council afford to build and operate a new hub in Wakefield? We’ve put together a business plan modelled on the current design option. The business plan is a researched, conservative modelling of revenue and costs for building and operating the hub, along with social and community benefits and opportunities. Most of the revenue to keep the hub in business will come from four main spaces; a community gym, a sports hall, multi-function room and meeting room.

We welcome your questions and other feedback on the plan, and will be happy to discuss it with you further.
