FlaXrock Gym

⁠⁠⁠After exploring a range of options and consulting with staff, Hastings District Council made the difficult decision to close the FlaXrock Gym due to operational challenges, very low usage numbers, and pressure on Council’s finances. The last day of operations was Friday 4 April 2025. View the FAQs at the bottom of the page for more information on the closure.

We are now seeking formal ‘expressions of interest’ from providers interested in using the gym spaces.

Register of interest (ROI)

The ROI provides the opportunity to register your interest to offer health and wellbeing offerings to the Flaxmere community from the spaces and resources previously occupied by FlaXrock Gym. This includes the original gym equipment room, the equipment itself if required, and the fitness room (the old climbing room area) around current leaseholders or use, or any combination of the above.

Questions in relation to this ROI may be submitted via the etender portal or email to tenders@hdc.govt.nz.

Find all the relevant forms and documents below.

Please submit your Registration of Interest electronically to the Tenders email address (tenders@hdc.govt.nz) by the due date and time given.

To ensure fairness and consistency in this process, we are unable to accept submissions sent by any other means.
