New $21.5m sports centre to open Rolleston with interactive, digital wall

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

A $21.5 million sports centre with a New Zealand-first interactive digital wall is preparing to open in Rolleston next month.

The centre, on Broadlands Drive, has areas for fitness classes, an upstairs indoor walking track, and eight sports courts that can be used for basketball, netball, futsal, volleyball, and tennis.

The Selwyn District Council said Selwyn Netball, Selwyn United Football and the Selwyn Sports Trust would host competitions at the new centre.

The design of a hard floor also meant it could host events such as a market or car show in the future too.

Covid update - National figures

Gordon from Halswell

Another encouraging result as another drop puts it into the 2400 zone, the best since Feb 2022
It is still concerning that Cant seems slower to drop 16.6% again and I found out today, that both my next-door neighbours had it last week and are struggling to get over it.
Stay safe folks.
