It also doubles as a concert and entertainment hall seating up to 2000 and hosting up to 1000 people for seated banquets while still catering to smaller localised events too.

Whichever way you look at it, it’s an impressive facility that offers flexible sporting and hosting options that would normally be well out of reach for a town the size of Hawera.

With a project of this scale, the paint palette has enjoyed much care and attention in its specification and application with a wide range of finishes and products used throughout the interior and exterior of the centre.

Outside Resene Waterborne Woodsman tinted to Resene Limed Stone (grey) is used on rough sawn ply complemented by Resene Lumbersider waterborne satin tinted to Resene Rice Cake (sharp yellow white) on blocks and Titan board. To complete the colour palettes, Resene Half Stack is used outside and Resene Bullseye on the tree column.

Engineered Coating Systems Resene Armourcote 510 and Resene Uracryl protect steelwork tinted to match COLORSTEEL® Cloud.

Inside Resene Zylone Sheen in hues of Resene Quarter Pravda (winter beige), Resene Double Oilskin (moody brown), Resene Rice Cake and Resene Stonehenge (stone grey) adorns plasterboard walls. Other interior broadwall areas are finished in Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen tinted to Resene Eighth Oilskin (dusky taupe).  Resene Lumbersider tinted to Resene Bright Sun (primary yellow) provides a strong accent to offset more neutral areas.

Interior concrete walls are finished in Resene Lumbersider tinted to Resene Rice Cake and tilt slab ceilings in Resene Lumbersider tinted to Resene Double Oilskin (moody brown).  Doors and trim throughout are finished in Resene Lusta-Glo semi-gloss tinted to Resene Oilskin (green brown) and Resene Rice Cake, while wet areas are finished in Resene Lustacryl semi-gloss waterborne enamel.  Interior timber areas of the gymnasium are finished in Resene Qristal Clear satin.  The blockwork corridor is finished in Resene Multishield+ satin.

And if you think the stripes in the canteen look like a lovely wallpaper design, then best you take another look.  All of the stripes have been created using Resene paint, masking tape and careful planning of proportions, a tangible piece of evidence of the effort and attention to detail that has been applied across the whole project.
