Facilities to become commercial

After the facilities review, Council decided that some facilities would move to operating commercially by 2027. These are Kennedy Park Resort, Ocean Spa and Napier Conferences & Events (based in the Napier War Memorial Centre).

These facilities are being loan-funded until they start covering their costs, rather than relying on rates. We are working on understanding the true future costs and income sources for these facilities, but current forecasting shows that it will be challenging to financially break even by the end of the 2027/28. What follows is an update on our plans for these three facilities. It’s important to note that no decisions have been made yet. Council is still considering options to be further investigated.
