Business and tourism facilities

Proposals for some business and tourism facilities

Our business and tourism facilities help make Napier a thriving and vibrant place for residents and visitors. Residents have told us they want us to be careful with money. So, we reviewed these facilities to ensure they were delivering the best value to ratepayers.

It’s important that we balance this with still having modern, engaging and accessible facilities for locals to enjoy and to help make Napier a great visitor destination. With certain facilities, Council might not be the best organisation to manage them. We are looking at various options that include either managing them ourselves, or having other operators involved through either leasing or buying a facility. This fulfils Council’s enabling role in our vision of ‘Enabling spaces and places where everybody wants to be’. Information in this consultation outlines our thinking and options for all the facilities we’ve reviewed.
