    • The ASB Sports Centre, located in Kemp Street, Kilbirnie, is pretty impressive and a great asset for the community.

    • The DomPost reports that Kilbirnie’s half-built indoor sports centre has a roof producing dangerous levels of glare for nearby residents, and potentially pilots at the nearby international airport.

    Stadium Roof East

    • 23 Sep 2010
    • Eye of the Fish
    • Following on, in a timely sort of manner, and because the Wellington wind has gone away and left us with some perfect walking / swimming / photo-taking weather, I thought it would be nice to have a look at the roof of the new Indoor Sports Stadium in Wellington.

• • Wellington is facing rising sea levels

    • 4 Dec 2009
    • Bryan Pepperell - Back To The Future
    • At the Wellington City Council Strategy and Policy Committee briefing of December 1 we were shown a computer model of the areas of Wellington that would be flooded by sea level rise as a consequence of global warming. One of the areas that may be impacted is the site of the Indoor Sports Centre. There is no doubt there will be consequences that will be beyond our control even if Wellington were to reduce green house gas emissions.

• • Indoor community sports centre may force flyover

    • 29 Apr 2009
    • While I certainly don't want to give up on fighting to stop the flyover being built at the Basin Reserve, a friend recently pointed out that there is another issue that I had not yet considered. And, it is one that could quite likely lead to construction of both the flyover and duplication of the Mt Victoria Tunnel.

    • The indoor sports centre issue that led to friction between Wellington city council Andy Foster and his colleagues seems to be heading towards a solution of sorts.

    • I have consistently warned that we face serious economic times over the last six years. Furthermore I’m of the belief that we are about to take a turn for the worse and that we must face affordability issues in a more urgent way.

    • Eye of the Fish
    • The Eye of the Fish has tried to keep away from the whole sorry saga of the Sports Centre, but recent developments deserve a forum for comment. The entire Sports Centre fad has escaped by the Fish, for whom the idea of 12 courts full of screaming netballers sounds more like a living hell than a place we’d ever want to go to. Apparently even 12 courts is a small number, claim the supporters,

    • 3 Oct 2008
    • St Mary's Old Girls Netball Club (SMOG)
    • The Cobham Park indoor sports stadium is going through the notified resource consent process and we need as many submissions as possible in support of this project. The indoor facility will be a fantastic asset for netball in Wellington, and will save us from playing in all the horrible winter weather.

    • 23 Jun 2008
    • St Mary's Old Girls Netball Club (SMOG)
    • Netball Wellington have advised that although everything was moving ahead towards the resource consent process for the development of the new indoor courts at Cobham Park, this is now being reviewed as part of the Council’s Annual Plan process. Andy Foster from the council has questioned the need for 12 courts. He is pushing to revisit the ’sites analysis’ with the idea of 8 courts at the Port (if the land can be obtained) and possibly covering some courts at Hataitai (amongst other possibilities).

    • There's a Waterfront Development Subcommittee meeting on tomorrow night, and for once, I'm not going to put myself through all that pain. While there's no single development up for specific debate, this time, feedback is due on the entire draft Waterfront Development Plan, so all the interested parties are having their say.Of the 633 written submissions, 604 were about the future of indoor sport given the changes to Sheds 1 and 6; and in particular, most of these called for the ground floor of Site 10 to become the new indoors sports venue, along the lines of what I've also been suggesting.

    Take The Long Way Home

    • 18 Aug 2007
    • Zephyr Rovers FC
    • The new indoor stadium proposed by the council near Wellington Airport and some considerable distance from the central city. "I estimate if I start jogging over there on Monday morning I should just make the Wednesday lunch time game" said Hall "but my real concern is after a bit of a run around will I get back to the office by Friday evening".

    Save Our Game

    • 17 Aug 2007
    • Zephyr Rovers FC
    • Zephyr Rovers Manager Steve Hall today confirmed he would be making a submission to the Wellington City Council next week to save sport on the waterfront. "The council has decided we need a Hilton Hotel on the waterfront and I have no issue with that" said Hall "but we want to see an alternative venue for sport on the waterfront as we sure can't jog to Kilbernie at lunch time to play in the new indoor facility out there".

    • 8 Aug 2007
    • WellUrban
    • Submissions on the Draft Waterfront Development Plan close on Friday, and while my opinion on most of it is just "get on with it", there's one area where I'll be promoting a specific change. While the ground floors of Sites 8, 9 and 10 have been designated simply as "retail", I think that Site 10 should be explicitly set aside as an indoor sports facility to replace Sheds 1 and 6.

    • As Kegan pointed out, there's a story on the front page of today's Dominion Post about the council reconsidering the placement of the indoor stadium: they're now thinking of putting it on the edge of Harbour Quays rather than way out at Kilbirnie. So it's almost come full circle, as the site is adjacent to the location originally proposed!
