The Kaikōura Community Charitable Trust Board have just received a boost from the Rātā Foundation for an additional $150,000 grant. Coupled with the announcement earlier this month that the Lottery Community Facilities Fund Committee had awarded a grant of $350,000 toward the Kaikōura Aquatic Centre Wā Kaukau - this takes the total funds secured to $3M! The estimated cost to build the pool has been budgeted at $3.7M. This is a tremendous outcome for the board who have been working hard to secure funding and sponsorship for the pool build. A further proposal to top up funding has been submitted through the Council to the Governments 'Shovel Ready' Project Funding. A developed pool plan has been approved which brings the vision of the pool to life, there is space for recreation and family whānau gatherings, as well as picnic areas and gas BBQ’s.
