The Christchurch Archery Club was founded in 1948, and runs on a voluntary basis providing training, competitions, school programs and have-a-go sessions. They have been operating at Rawhiti Domain for the last 35 years under an existing lease agreement, which is due to expire in June 2025.

They have applied for a new lease to operate in Rawhiti Domain council reserve land, for 11 years (with two rights of renewal for a total of 33 years).

The lease application requests the same operating times, with no proposed changes to the site, car parking, or trees.

The Christchurch Archery Club’s regular hours of use are:

• Wednesday: 12 noon - 8pm (Includes school programmes)
• Thursday: 5pm - 8pm (Beginners courses)
• Saturday: 9am - 6pm (Para archery and normal club shooting day)
• Sunday: 9.30am - 3.30pm (High performance training and normal club shooting)

Please note there is no variation to these hours proposed in the new lease application.
