DEVELOPMENT PIPELINE OPENING TBC
Taiwhanga Hakinakina Christchurch, New Zealand
A covered sports and entertainment stadium has been proposed as part of a ”recov- ery plan” for the earthquake-hit city of Christchurch in New Zealand. Christchurch Central Development Unit (CCDU) has compiled the Christchurch Cen- tral Recovery Plan, which sets out a ”bold vision” for the city going forward. The stadium will have seating for up to 35,000 spectators and be located to the east of The Frame, a new central core for the city featuring numerous uses. It will boast 4,300 demountable seats to allow for the scaling of events, while the design will allow for the option of a fi xed, transparent roof above a natural turf pitch. Christchurch City Council will build the stadium in partnership with a range of stakeholders, such as the New Zealand gov- ernment and the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority.
STADIUMS
The sports and events stadium will feature an optional transparent roof above the turf pitch Meanwhile, the recovery plan includes the
refurbishment of the existing Cricket Oval at Hagley Park, which will be brought up to standard for international Test matches. A new Metro Sports Facility will also house a 50m, 10-lane competition pool and an indoor stadium with eight indoor courts as well as a high-performance centre for coaching/training.
A spokesperson for the authority said the
CCDU’s role is to explore the range of facili- ties needed for Christchurch, with design and building work to follow, adding that the covered stadium concept had been dis- cussed before and follows the construction of the Forysth Barr Stadium in Dunedin.
