Thanks to a generous one million dollar donation from Solid Energy towards a new sports and leisure facility, the Solid Energy Sports Centre in Westport has become a key part of the local community. Solid Energy is one of the biggest employers in the region and chose this project with others as a way to give back to the community.

The striking sports and leisure facility includes an aquatic centre, netball courts, squash courts, an artificial hockey surface and fitness centre. It is home to many local sporting organisations and is used by schools as part of their physical education, sport and leisure programmes.

With Villaboard panels finished in clear Resene Multishield+ specified for much of the interior, over 500 litres of this clear finish was needed to complete the whole project. The clear finish made way to a painted finish courtside, with the plasterboard walls finished in Resene Broadwall 3 in 1 followed by Resene Zylone Sheen. Resene Broadwall 3 in 1 is a spray only sealer and surfacer that offers rapid turnaround times, increased efficiency and an improved surface for topcoating. The main stadium walls were finished in Resene Wafer (pink biscuit), the foyer in Resene Pot Pourri (dusky pink rose) and Resene Foam (pastel blue), the fitness room in Resene Energy Yellow (bright yellow), Resene Hypnotic (celery green) and Resene Quarter Spanish White (light neutral) and the changing rooms in Resene Quarter Spanish White topcoated in Resene Multishield+.

The two new squash courts were both finished in Resene Squash Court Coating while the laminated beams in the pool complex were finished in Resene Uracryl 402 for a tough durable finish.

Outside, Resene Waterborne Woodsman tinted to Resene Ironbark (brown) and Resene Uracryl were used for aesthetic appeal and to protect the exterior substrates from the elements.

The finished centre is an impressive community asset and a hive of sporting activity; a very special gift that this community can enjoy and be proud of for many years to come.
