Campers will soon enjoy new facilities at Spencer Beach TOP 10 Holiday Park, as an eagerly awaited rebuild of the main amenity block that was lost to fire gets underway.

Hann Construction Ltd has started work on rebuilding the park’s key amenities block with excavation and foundation work currently underway on the site. 

Christchurch City Council Manager Activities and Events Colin Jacka, says the project includes three modern buildings:  

  • New toilets and showers to improve comfort for year-round camping. 
  • A kitchen and dining area for shared meals and socialising. 
  • A TV and games room that offers entertainment for guests of all ages.  

These buildings will be connected by covered walkways and a spacious outdoor BBQ area, creating a welcoming environment for campers.  

Construction timeline and sustainability focus  

Mr Jacka says the Council is committed to minimising noise and disruption during the project, ensuring a smooth transition as the new facilities take shape. 

“We’re excited to see this project come to life and restore a place that is much loved by our community.  This rebuild is about enhancing the camping experience while reducing environmental impact.” 

The new facilities will incorporate solar power systems and hot water heat pumps, helping to significantly lower emissions and improve energy efficiency.  

Spencer Beach TOP 10 Holiday Park, owned and managed by the Council, remains a treasured destination for holidaymakers.  

Campers can look forward to enjoying these upgraded facilities just in time for the summer holidays.
