Community update on Omakau Hub progress planned

An open day to provide an update to the community on the Omakau Hub project will be held this month.

The Manuherekia Valleys Charitable Trust, the group behind the establishment of a new community facility on the Omakau Recreation Reserve, will host the gathering to be accompanied by a barbecue on Sunday 19 May 1pm-3pm at the Omakau Rugby Club rooms.

The purpose of the open day is to bring the community up to speed with progress on the concept plans, funding, the next steps and to provide a forum for questions to be answered, about the multi-purpose facility, estimated to cost $5.2 million.

Community, CODC elected members and staff are invited.

The Trust was granted $1 million by Council towards building a community hub on the Council-owned reserve to replace the existing rugby club rooms and Omakau hall and to establish several community organisations and sporting groups within the hub.

The hall has now been officially closed.
