An exciting new world-class marine sports centre is set to pave the way for the Auckland community.
The Akarana Marine Sports Charitable Trust, which was formed in 2012, will officially open the doors of its landmark Marine Sports Centre early next summer after six years in the making.
The centre, which is being built on the landing in Okahu Bay, will remain the home of the historic Royal Akarana Yacht Club as well as other sports clubs to promote and provide sports education, recreation, and leisure opportunities for local schools, clubs, and community groups.
Akarana Marine Sports Charitable Trust General Manager, Andrew Brookland, said the facility would be the first of its kind.
