Nelson City Council - Management of NCC Venues - RFP - January 2024

Nelson City Council is looking for a supplier that can provide management, marketing, administration, maintenance, and cleaning services for these Council owned Venues:

• Trafalgar Centre
• Trafalgar Park and Trafalgar Pavilion
• Saxton Oval and Pavilion
• Pūtangitangi Greenmeadows Centre
• Trafalgar Street Hall
• Wakapuaka Memorial Hall

Nelson City Council owns a number of sporting and entertainment venues that provide social and economic benefits to the city. They are hired for a range of events, from premier events to community meetings. These range from the Trafalgar Centre, a multipurpose events venue that can host major performances, conferences, events, and indoor sports, to more modest local community halls that serve local residents and community groups at affordable price.

Many residents and community groups enjoy our facilities and also use them as their home base (Tasman Mako Rugby team, Stoke Tennis, Stoke Rugby, Stoke Seniors) as well as many other community activities like yoga, indoor bowls, amateur dramatics and Society of Genealogists. Residents use them for family celebrations, wedding receptions, meetings, and fundraisers.

Events are important for community wellbeing, as they build feelings of belonging, identity, and a sense of pride in our city, and help to grow awareness of our diverse community.
