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.{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=2014|title=Ngahue Reserve Development|url=https://www.pdp.co.nz/project/ngahue-reserve-development/|url-status=|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2022-07-27|website=Pattle Delamore Partners|language=en-NZ}}

In 2014 the two artificial pitches were completed. The OFC facilities were not completed until the following year.
