Tahunanui Beach facilities Debate
Economic Benefits - Business Opportunities
Option 2
Residents supporting Option 2 believe that constructing a new facility for the Nelson Surf Lifesaving Club and upgrading the existing facilities could significantly boost local economic activity by attracting more visitors and providing new opportunities for businesses, such as cafes, restaurants, and event spaces. They suggest that incorporating amenities like beachside cafes, bars, and multipurpose spaces could enhance the appeal of Tāhunanui Beach as a destination, potentially increasing tourism and supporting local entrepreneurs. Additionally, the inclusion of diverse amenities such as rental services and a multi-use sports hub is seen as a way to attract more visitors and create a vibrant community space that supports both local businesses and tourism.
Table of comments:
| Point No | Comment |
|---|---|
| 1.7 | Provide greater opportunity for private business to further develop the Tahunanui Beach area. |
| 44.7 | It would be great to include a space for events and a restaurant/cafe to invigorate this space and improve our activation of our waterfront in general |
| 81.7 | what about beach side cafes and bars? Iknow it sounds far fetched but Could we not license surf club like they do in Australia?? Who would not want to sit at the surf club for a beer or a coffee on the beach?? Local food supplies. Napier has a fantastic Boulevard, thats whats needed here. |
| 564.7 | if this is done with the rugby club(access to more funds) and create a multi use building with paddleboard/kayak rentals, ice cream, cafe/tapas bar/seafood(showcasing our fishing insdustry) restaurant ‘Surf and Turf’ that holds music gigs for night time(this in my opinion is a huge gap in Nelson…devilles, East street and…Boat house( which feels more like and RSA club) are the only places that have regular gigs for our younger population…. It would be a great investment. |
| 800.7 | create a multi use sports/ lifesaving hub / club with restauant / cafe / gaming facility much like Australia surf clubs, but combine with netball / rugby / football etc |
| 1261.5 | A new facility could be multipurpose for the collective sports in the Tahunanui region including touch rugby. Including an option for cafe/shop will attract people to the facility |
| 1476.2 | NRDA supports the Tahunanui Beach facilities Option 2, the construction of a new facility for the Nelson Surf Lifesaving Club, strengthening Nelson and the region as a place to visit and live, with significant potential benefits for attracting and supporting existing and new events. We encourage planning of these facilities to consider wider opportunities such as event function venues. |
