Eden Park stadium gets green signal to hold up to six concerts in any 12-month period Friday, January 15, 2021 IWK Bureau
A panel of three independent commissioners have decided that resource consent can be granted for concerts at Eden Park, subject to conditions of consent.
The Eden Park Trust will be able to hold up to six concerts in any 12-month period. The concerts can take place on weekdays, Saturdays, Sundays preceding a public holiday and public holidays, subject to restrictions on frequency, duration and timing. The public hearings were held late last year and the three Independent Commissioners considered evidence from the Eden Park Trust and submitters, which included the expert assessments of technical specialists, before making their decision.

Eden Park has won a long-running battle to hold concerts at the park after a panel of independent commissioners granted resource consent for up to six concerts a year.
The concerts can take place on weekdays, Saturdays, Sundays preceding a public holiday and public holidays, subject to restrictions on frequency, duration and timing.
Eden Park chief executive Nick Saunter was delighted with the decision, saying the park had artists ready to announce shows. However, we are required to wait until the appeal window is closed to share details, he said.
