Saxton Field Committee
Saxton Field is a major regional sporting complex developed and managed by Nelson City and Tasman District Councils over a number of years.
Two Councillors from each Council form the Committee:

Over the last couple of years, both Councils have undertaken new developments at the complex and there are a range of other projects currently underway or in their planning phase.
