A roof on Christchurch’s planned stadium is being described as key to making the venue competitive, despite its cost.

Following recently revealed cost blowouts, public feedback has been pouring in on whether Te Kaha stadium should be built as planned.

Rising construction costs have hiked the forecast cost to build the 30,000-seat venue, described as a multi-use arena, from $533 million to $673m. Further escalations are possible.

City councillors will decide on July 14 whether to top up the budget, pause and redesign the project, or scrap it all together. Paying the extra would boost the average rates bill by $144 a year, or about $2.75 a week.

Read more here and tell us what you think of the stadium plan - and whether it should have a roof, or whether it should go ahead at all - in the comments below.

Kia Ora all!

If you're in need of childcare, look no further!

I have in depth, varied and comprehensive background in working with children and babysitting, and enjoy creating fun and safe environments for children to learn, play and have fun in! I'm currently a swim teacher with a knack for teaching under 5's and can provide regular and irregular care.

I can do most times in the day, including day care, evening care and daily adventures! Multitasking is the name of the game and I have it down pat, so multiple kids are no issue at all.

With school holidays coming up, I'm more than happy to arrange activities and fun things to do either at your home or around Christchurch. I'm also happy to facilitate some extra learning and educational activities as well!

I have my full drivers licence and a comprehensive first aid certificate, plus have passed the council background checks.

Feel free to contact me with any questions or if you'd like to know more!
