Whakatipu Rowing Club
Whakatipu Rowing Club’s “Impact100 Indoor Training Space”: Part of a broader redevelopment initiative, the “Impact100 Indoor Training Space” will offer year-round training facilities for health and wellness activities accessible to all ages, fostering community engagement and supporting local recreational groups.
WRC is redeveloping the existing Whakatipu Rowing Club storage shed on the shores of Lake Hayes.
It has resource consent for additions which include a meeting area, kitchen and bathroom. WRC's proposal to Impact100 is that its grant monies be applied towards the completion of one specific part of the wider project: a year round, all weather exercise space for use by Rowing Club members (age range 12 to 80+ years), and members of the other water sports bodies relying on Lake Hayes for training.
The provision of this new, safe, dry land environment has been endorsed by Wakatipu High School, QLDC and Rowing New Zealand. The space will be fitted with the equipment necessary for water sports training, and will be called the Impact100 Indoor Training Space.
In its entirety the project will be of benefit to a large number of community groups, including those contributing to the ecological restoration and enhancement of the Lake Hayes area.
