Funds for leaky roof
The West Harbour Community Board has approved a grant of $2500 to the Pioneer Opportunities and Resources Trust, which owns the Pioneer Hall in Port Chalmers.
The funds will be used to help pay for repairs to the roof of the hall to ensure it is watertight, well-drained and non-rusting.
The grant is payable on condition of receiving a second quote for scaffolding and speaking to board member Wayne Sefton to discuss other possible funding avenues.
Funds for athlete
The West Harbour Community Board has approved a scholarship of $500 to young athlete Melanie Button towards costs of attending the New Zealand Female Triathlon Development Camp in New Plymouth.
Button, 17, said attending the camp would be a "fantastic opportunity" for her as it would be a rare opportunity to train with other female triathletes.
She would also have the opportunity to learn from New Zealand Olympic coach Craig Kirkwood.
This camp will also help prepare her for racing at the Napier Triathlon Festival next year, which is also a qualifier for the 2025 World Triathlon Championships taking place in Wollongong, Australia.
