nib Stadium Perth, Australia
Western Australia sport and recreation min- ister Terry Waldron has helped mark the
start of work on a AU$95.14m (£62.1m, 76.2m, US$99.9m) redevelopment of Perth’s nib Stadium. The project includes the dismantling of the temporary eastern and southern grand- stands and the construction of replacement stands and a new playing surface. BGC Construction has been appointed lead contractor, with the new east stand to house new catering and toilet facilities; open corporate boxes seating 420; and a barbeque terrace. A new uncovered perma- nent south stand will house two large video screens, while a new PA, CCTV and pitch lighting system will be installed. Completion of the major construction work is expected by Spring 2013.

Stadium development Truro, UK
A group behind plans to establish a new stadium development near Truro in Corn- wall, UK, has said it ”remains positive”, despite the local authority’s decision not to provide funding support. In 2012, it was revealed that a private sector partnership would be taking the project forward at the Langarth Farm site near Threemilestone, which has secured

planning approval. However, Cornwall Council has now confi rmed that Cornwall Community Stadium Ltd (CCSL) has been unable to raise the necessary funds and has requested public support.
Members of the full council voted 55-to- 46 against taking a lead in the stadium project at a meeting last May, while also rejecting further scrutiny of the proposals. Cornwall Council leader Alec Robertson has written to CCSL to confi rm that cabinet members are not considering a request for funding towards the plans.

Perth Stadium Perth, Australia
Western Australia’s (WA) Liberal- National state government has set out the masterplan for Perth’s new sta- dium and a surrounding recreation precinct on the Burswood Peninsula. International design fi rm Popu- lous has been appointed to design the complex, with the state invest- ing AU$375m (£245m, 301m, US$394m) of funding. At the centre of the development will be the third largest stadium – in terms of capacity – in Australia and the second largest Australian Football League home venue. It will fea- ture an initial capacity of 60,000 but could be expanded to 70,000. Events will include Australian Rules foot- ball and rugby. Around the venue will be spaces for supporters to have a pre-game ”kickabout”, while the plaza has been designed as an ”active place”, hosting a range of food and beverage options.
Other elements incorporated into the masterplan include a fl exible design to allow for the hosting of major events and the development of Perth as a ”river city”. Pre-construction site work is expected to commence by mid-2013, with the new stadium due to open in time for the 2018 Australian Football League season.
