Mangakino sports clubroom update
Work is underway on the transformation of the Mangakino sports clubroom which will see a new kitchen, an internal fit out of toilets, showers and changing rooms, as well as a completely new roof.
Unfortunately, the grand opening has been delayed by a few weeks due to a couple of unforeseen issues.
Mangakino-Pouakani Ward Councillor Kirsty Trueman said everyone’s working hard to get this finished as soon as possible for Mangakino community.
“When builders pulled the cladding off, they discovered the framing was a different size than anticipated and required a building consent amendment, adding to the timeline. We’ve also been affected by the supply of materials created by Covid-19 restrictions around the world.
“So far, the workers have completed the structural work, installed insulation, and replaced most of the roof and the cladding. Over the next few weeks, they’ll install the windows, complete the shower and toilet cubicles, and finalise the all-important fire system,” said Mrs Trueman.
All going well, the project will now be completed by the end of June. In total, the project is expected to cost $620,000 and was included as part of the Long-term Plan 2018/28.
