A smaller design is on the cards for Christchurch s new multi-use arena . to fend off a 130 million dollar blow-out 20 July 2021
Councillors will vote on Thursday whether to go for a 25 thousand seat stadium . and smaller interior - to stay within the 470 million budget.
The initial concept had 30 thousand seats, concert staging on the field and a full concourse.
Recreation Head, Nigel Cox, says building and shipping costs have risen dramatically.
He says the new design balances affordability, with maintaining amenities.
A newly recommended design option, within the $473m budget, would reduce capacity to 25,000, with decisions to be made at a later stage about how much of this would be permanent, retractable or temporary seating. Further investigation will look at whether design efficiencies can be found to allow the capacity to go to 27,500 while remaining in budget.

Frank Film looks at the last-ditch effort to save a heritage building from the giant footprint of Christchurch’s new multi-arena stadium. A council staff report, outlining the proposed change, said New Zealand Rugby had told the council while 25,000 seats was acceptable for some matches, it would be too small for rugby matches against Australia, South Africa or the Lions, unless a substantial incentive fee is provided”.
According to the Christchurch City Council about 35,000 people crammed along the beach for the free event as far east as South Brighton, with many dancing to the sounds of famous New Zealand music as the display rang out across the suburb. Stalls and entertainment including Kapa Haka performances also kept the crowd entertained in the lead-up to the fireworks. The first fireworks in a year because of Covid-19 pandemic restrictions, Nigel Cox, the council’s head of recreation, sports and events, said the event was a success and would be replicated next year. “It was pretty popular.” Cox said starting the $30,000 fireworks at the earlier time of 7pm had proven attractive to families and the number of visitors was reflected in the traffic congestion in the area.
