We’re midway through the Nunweek Park Pavilion Feasibility Study for the Canterbury Hockey Association — a project exploring future pavilion options to support participation, performance, and long-term sustainability at the regional level.
A key focus so far has been targeted engagement with local hockey clubs and wider sector stakeholders. These conversations have surfaced how existing facilities are functioning, the pressures they’re under, and what a future pavilion genuinely needs to deliver. That insight is now directly shaping the project’s direction and ensuring the feasibility work stays grounded in real-world use and operational realities.
The next phase translates this feedback into a clear functional brief, followed by concept design development and high-level cost planning. These elements will be tested with the project steering group to explore viable options, staging, and funding pathways — before being brought together into a robust feasibility assessment to support future decision-making.
Projects like this highlight the importance of combining meaningful stakeholder engagement with practical analysis to shape facility outcomes that are both aspirational and deliverable.
