Building the Future
St George’s Rowing Club is one of the oldest sporting clubs in New Zealand. Founded in St George’s Bay Auckland in 1863 it has been the home of thousands of rowers over the past 140 years: the Club has been in its current clubrooms since 1949 (74 years), perfectly situated at the end of Kings Rd on the Tamaki River giving easy access onto and off the water.
Over the years the Clubrooms have been extended and maintained, with some parts of the boatshed dating back to the early 20th century as they were moved from downtown Auckland to the present site. For now the clubrooms have more than reached capacity. Good collaboration between the different groups has enabled members to work with the limited space. However, the boat house is congested and some equipment is currently stored off site or on the outside of the building. The existing training room was added to the club in 1977 (46 years ago). The old yacht club from next door was shifted in, making that part of the structure nearly a century old. It is time to future-proof the club by enabling more efficient use of the space. Our proposed changes will provide longevity of the club for generations who follow.
