Kaiapoi's regeneration efforts continue to transform the riverside town
Kaiapoi's regeneration efforts continue to transform the North Canterbury riverside town, with softball pitches next on the to-do list.
Construction is expected to begin next month on the artificial turf diamonds, backstop fences and other features after the contract was awarded to Tiger Turf.
A feasibility study into a world-class aquasports facility for Kaiapoi is also under way, while a heritage and mahinga kai project has also been earmarked for funding.
Other projects will rely on population growth over the coming decades, particularly the proposed mixed-use business zone. Funding will come from the council and potential development partners.
