All-weather sports turf Debate

Economic Benefits - Population Growth

Option 2

Residents believe that constructing an all-weather sports turf will significantly enhance the attractiveness and livability of Nelson, encouraging more people to engage in sports and potentially attracting new residents. The improved facilities are expected to increase usage, as evidenced by the successful upgrade at Nelson College, which has led to greater utilization of their sports field. The presence of such a facility is seen as essential for supporting the growth and development of the city, making it a more desirable location for both current and prospective residents.

Point No	Comment
147.6	this will be a massive pull for the region. The current state of sports turfs are poor and vulnerable during winter months. One just has to look at the old Nelson College front field and how much more use it has had now the upgrade is complete
1076.9	please build one in nelson city, Guppy Park. Would encourage more people to take up sports and make for a more liveable city where people want to live to play there.
1330.2	An all weather turf facility is essential for a growing City like Nelson and the turf needs to be located in the City!  Neale Park / Guppy Park are the obvious choices.
