History
Originally Ngahue Reserve was a landfill that consisted of composting rejected materials. In 1986 the landfill was closed and became a cleanfill site. The cleanfill site did not include putrescible and organic material and metal objects unlike the landfill previously. In 1989 the site was capped until 1997 before being recontoured.[5]
In 2014 the two artificial pitches were completed. The OFC facilities were not completed until the following year.[2]
