Unlikely budget blowout will stop stadium - Councillor

From Morning Report, 7:45 am on 2 June 2022

A Christchurch City councillor says it's unlikely the work to build Christchurch's new stadium will stop, despite a significant cost blowout.

The council has revealed costs could increase by up to $150 million, reaching a price of $673 million.

It's now up to locals to have their say on whether the project should go ahead, be scaled back or halted.

Christchurch City Councillor Jake McLellan spoke to Corin Dann.
