The Maidstone Community Sports Hub (MCSH) was a significant and comprehensive project aimed at redeveloping and transforming the park and facilities. The project comprised of new shared clubrooms, an indoor training facility, and many smaller improvements and upgrades across the grounds.

The new shared clubroom was designed in collaboration with local sports clubs and stakeholders. It is supported community sport and recreation activities.

The Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) phase of the project proved beneficial in overcoming challenges related to the impact of COVID-19, such as the cost of construction and material scarcity. Following a very successful ECI effort by our Maycroft team, the project was passed to our Operations team for delivery.

This project benefited from the government 'Shovel Ready' fund. The government funding boost, was set up in response to COVID-19, to fast-track infrastructure and environmental restoration projects to stimulate the construction industry, environmental industries and the economy, for public or regional benefit, and to create jobs.

We were thrilled with the outcome of the project and the opportunity it provided to build on our great relationship and involvement with Upper Hutt City Council and the Upper Hutt Community.
