Community board backs training lights

A bid to install training lights at Lake Hawea's netball and tennis courts has been backed by the Wanaka Community Board, but the final decision remains in the hands of Queenstown Lake councillors.

A funding budget of $25,000 to install four 8m high 1kW lights at Peter Frazer Park courts was approved by board members and included in the council's draft annual plan for 2009-10.

Councillors will consider the community board's approval recommendation at a meeting in Wanaka at the end of June.
