Westurf was established as a Charitable Trust in 1991with the following objects;
(a) To supply and lay an artificial playing surface suitable for outdoor sport on the Recreation Ground, Greymouth.
(b) To supply and erect and construst any ancillary improvements required to enhance the use and utility of the artificial surface on the Recreation Ground, Greymouth.
(C) To provide facilities on the Recreation Ground, to encourage public education and participation in sport.
Westurf raised $470,000 of the $750,000 needed for the original Stadium, with the balance borrowed to enable the opening in April 1994. The loan took seven years to repay from turf fees.
The cost for the new project is approximately $670,000. While the water synthetic surface and new shockpad is not a lot more than the first sand filled surface the big difference is in the following;
Alterations to the base, Asphalting the base and installing the Irrigation system.
The resurfacing project was completed in May 2011.
