Bay Of Plenty Movement HQ

05/08/2026

WE DID IT! PHASE 1 COMPLETE!

What an incredible milestone for our community!

A huge thank you to every individual, family, business, organisation and supporter who has contributed to Phase 1 of the Bay of Plenty Movement HQ. Together, we have successfully raised the $200,000 needed to complete our plans and building consent process. This achievement belongs to our entire community. Every donation, every fundraiser, every sponsorship has helped bring this project one step closer to becoming a reality.

Over the coming months, we'll be working with our team to finalise the building plans and obtain building consent before launching into Phase 2 – Construction.

Our next goal is to raise $3.9 million to build a facility that will provide opportunities for movement, sport, health and wellbeing for generations to come. We'll be applying for major grants and partnering with businesses and community supporters to make this happen.

If you know of a business, organisation or individual who would like to be part of creating something truly special for the Bay of Plenty, we'd love to hear from you.

We couldn't be more proud of what our community has achieved so far, and we are excited to continue this journey together with you!

WE ARE 95% OF THE WAY THERE!

We're so close to reaching Phase 1 of the Bay of Plenty Movement HQ project! Thanks to an incredibly generous donation last week, we've now raised $190,000 of the $200,000 needed to complete our build plans and move into Phase 2.

Now we just need the final $10,000 to get us across the finish line.

Can you help?

Every donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to creating a purpose-built movement hub that will benefit our community for decades to come.

You can donate via our Givealittle page https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/bop-movement-hq or get in touch with us to chat about sponsorship opportunities or other ways you can support the project.
A huge thank you to every business, organisation, family, and individual who has donated or sponsored this project so far. Your belief in our vision and your investment in the future of our community and generations to come means more than we can say.
