IN RESPONSE to a direct question from the Whanganui District Council, Netball Wanganui will settle for nothing less than it already has.
Netball Wanganui met representatives from Sport Whanganui and council on Monday night to further discuss suggestions of moving away from its Laird Park headquarters into a potential indoor and outdoor hub at Springvale Park. The proposal was part of a wider discussion document by Wanganui District Council over the future of the town's various sporting facilities.
Netball Wanganui has submitted several concerns with the concept of shifting from their 13 outdoor courts at Laird Park towards using more indoor facilities at Springvale Stadium, along with proposed outdoor courts at the complex.
In its submissions Netball Wanganui pointed out that it brought more than was actually on the table in regard to the sport.
"Netball Wanganui is struggling to see how an increase in indoor facilities will become more affordable for our netball community, particularly those belonging to the identified 28 per cent of low income-households," the submission stated .
