Kaiapoi Aquasports Park makes headlines but project not off the ground yet
A proposed aquasports park in Kaiapoi's red zone is far from being a done deal.
Residents in North Canterbury could have been forgiven for thinking the project had the go-ahead after WHoW trustees Tony Joseph and Scott Kotoul told Sky Sports the proposed National Aquasports Park was set to become a reality for Kaiapoi.
Kotoul later said the TV interview should be seen as only "enthusiastically speculative" until the pre-feasibility report, currently under way, has been completed.
