Poll: What should the city council do about Christchurch's new stadium budget blow-out?
From reporter Steven Walton:
Christchurch’s 30,000-seat stadium, Te Kaha, has blown its budget by at least another $50 million, Stuff understands.
City councillors will soon have to decide whether they either increase the $533m budget once again, head back to the drawing board or pause the project.
Council staff are refusing to comment on the spiralling costs, saying more information will be available in the coming weeks.
