Porirua Adventure Park is a tourism project proposed to be built on part of Rangituhi, the maunga close to Porirua’s CBD. In 2019 the Council agreed in principle to support the development, through an agreement to lease of Council-owned land. To allow the developer to apply to the Overseas Investment Office (OIO) for approval, the agreement to lease date needed to be extended. It didn’t make the cut for a $2.6 billion fund for “shovel-ready” projects in 2020; and the Porirua council twice refused to become an investor in the development. That was calculated on getting overseas investment approval in September and October.
