HAGLEY GOLF CLUB

REPORT BY THE CHAIRPERSON OF THE
HAGLEY/FERRYMEAD COMMUNITY BOARD
1 JUNE 2011
PART A – MATTERS REQUIRING A COUNCIL DECISION
1. HAGLEY GOLF CLUB
 The Board received a deputation from Geoff Druery, Club President of Hagley Golf Club, and
Jim Anderton, a Club Member, seeking the Board’s support for an approach to the Council for
financial assistance due to disruption to the Club, and course as a whole,  during the recent Civil
Defence Emergency.  
 The Board was advised of damage the Club had suffered in the 22 February earthquake and of
reduced revenues and disruptions to the Club,  partly due to civil defence taking over the
Armagh Street car park.  Mr Druery advised that the Golf course and the Club house are leased by
the Hagley Golf Club from the Council.  
 Written documentation was provided to the Board in support of the request for the Board’s support to
enable the Council to consider, with urgency, the Hagley Golf Club’s request for $40,000 to enable the
Club to continue operating.
BOARD CONSIDERATION
 The Board considered the request from the Hagley Golf Club and the supporting documentation.
Council Staff provided background information on the Council leasing the site to the Golf Club, and on
the process for consideration of the request.
 The Board noted concern regarding lack of consultation with the Hagley Golf Club on events
proposals in Hagley Park.
BOARD RECOMMENDATION
It was decided on the motion of David Cox, seconded by Yani Johanson, that the Board receive the
deputation, and ask that the Council consider the request from the Hagley Golf Club, by way of a
Chairperson’s report to the Council meeting on  9 June 2011, and requested that staff comment be
provided to the Council; including information on  possible Council funding sources for this request,
and on ongoing maintenance if the Golf club were to close.
