I was honoured to participate in the sod turning for the soon to be built Hyundai Marine Sports Centre on April 12th on the site of the RAYC at the landing. This is a project that has taken a few years to get underway and I am pleased that the Orakei Local Board has been a committed supporter of this over the past six years. When it is completed it will be a great asset for the community and an example of how public funding can combine with business to create real wins for the community.
