About This Project

Hawkes Bay Regional Sports Park was constructed via a comprehensive phased development, the overall goal of this development was to enhance the athletic performance and community well-being of Hawkes Bay and wider regional area. As the client-side project manager and engineer, HPM played a pivotal role in orchestrating the design, tender, and construction phases of various projects within the complex. ​

  • Stage One – High-Performance Sport and Wellness Centre: Completed in May 2019, Stage One marked the ​
    inauguration of the $80 million endeavour. The 2800sqm facility boasted state-of-the-art amenities including a strength​
    and conditioning gym, running track, pole vault, long jump area, and an on-site medical facility. Stage One set the foundation​
    for subsequent expansions and developments.​
  • Stage One (b) Expansion and EIT Institute of Sport Hostel: Continuing the momentum to Stage One, the construction of the EIT Institute of Sport Hostel, further enriched the sporting infrastructure within the park. ​
  • Hawkes Bay Regional Aquatic Centre: August 2022 marked the completion of the crown jewel of the project, The Hawkes Bay Regional Aquatic Centre. This aquatic marvel featured a 50m Olympic-sized pool and a 25m learn-to-swim pool. Designed to accommodate training, competitions, and community events, the Aquatic Centre emerged as a hub of aquatic sports and recreation. ​
  • Hawkes Bay Regional Sports – Cricket and Boxing Centre: In tandem with the park’s aquatic expansion, HPM spearheaded the design-build initiative for the Indoor Cricket and Boxing Facility. This 2000m² facility, completed in October 2022, provided a dedicated space for indoor cricket lanes and a state-of-the-art boxing facility. Its integration within the broader sports park necessitated meticulous coordination with existing services and ongoing community events to ensure seamless execution and safety. ​

Through meticulous planning and execution, the integrated development of the Hawkes Bay Regional Sports Park has not only elevated athletic prowess but also fostered community engagement and well-being, leaving an enduring legacy for generations to come.​
