Christchurch will spend $683 million on stadium, following 13-3 council vote
Christchurch city leaders have agreed to pour another $150 million into the Te Kaha stadium project budget – taking the total cost of the project to nearly $700m.
The Christchurch City Council met on Thursday to decide the fate of the beleaguered project.
After nearly six hours of discussion and debate, councillors voted 13-3 to increase the budget and push on with the project. The other options on the table were to pause the project and revaluate it, or they could have scrapped it altogether.
The three councillors who voted against pushing on were Melanie Coker, Sara Templeton and Celeste Donovan.
