A developer has announced plans to build new sporting facilities in the coastal village of Te Awanga including a basketball half court, cricket net and tennis court.
Greenstone Land Developments is behind a housing project called Te Awanga Terraces located off Clifton Rd near the entrance to Te Awanga.
Forty-five sections are soon to go on sale at the development site which will be converted into homes.
"As part of our consent conditions we are required to allocate one hectare of land to mitigate the risk of damage to houses and property when a 100-year flood event occurs," Tim Wilkins, the Greenstone Land Developments managing director, said.
