What happened
Napier City Council is considering the sale of its Kennedy Park Resort, located in McLean Park, to Hampshire. The council seeks to sell the resort for approximately $20 million to the company, which is based in Australia. The deal would involve leasing the land for up to 30 years and selling the resort's assets and operations to Hampshire. The sale proceeds would be used to pay off the resort's existing debt of about $8.5 million.

Why it matters
The proposal follows a review of the council's major assets, which found that many were mostly unprofitable. The council has been signaling its intention to find a new operator to reduce ongoing financial commitments, including maintenance, capital investment, and debt servicing costs.
