The Cust Domain, currently used by the Cust Equestrian Group, is being eyed by the Oxford Football Club for expansion. The equestrian group president believes that high energy sports like football will cause anxiety for the horses due to their proximity.
The Oxford Football Club has experienced rapid growth and wants to develop two soccer fields at the Cust Domain. The club has offered to pay for upgrades to the lights and field markings. The Waimakariri District Council plans to meet with both clubs to find a solution that allows both to use the domain.
The community hopes for a collaborative solution between the two clubs to share the Cust Domain. The council acknowledges the challenges of both clubs using the ground simultaneously and aims to find a resolution that works for all parties involved.
