Christchurch to get 30,000-seat stadium after council bends to the will of the people
Christchurch will get a 30,000-seat stadium after the city council bowed to public pressure and ditched an earlier decision to build a smaller venue.
The larger stadium will cost an additional $50 million, lifting the total budget to $523m, but some councillors have warned the cost could escalate well past $600m.
If the $50m cannot be found elsewhere, Christchurch ratepayers will end up paying an additional $13.70 in rates each year for 29 years from 2024-25 – the cost of an annual takeaway burger combo.

Kia ora neighbours,
My name is John Karki and I'm currently looking for a job. I do live in Somerfield and I'm a student and keen to work while I study.
I do have experience in Cleaning, Kitchen hand, Customer Service but I'm very reliable, hardworking, and a fast learner.
I'm open to all kinds of work-hospitality, retail, cleaning, kitchenhand, or anything where I can lend a hand and learn something new.
I am available anytime of day during morning and afternoon, some days evening too.
If you know of any opportunities or need some help yourself, I'd really appreciate it if you could reach out.
Thank you so much!
Kind regards,
