Dunedin’s proposed new sports stadium to replace Carisbrook still has the backing of the Dunedin City Council, despite a $10 million increase in the price tag and less money from contributors.
The cost has risen $10 million from $188m because of the increase in land costs and less money than expected from the sale of Carisbrook. The city council has said the total project must not now exceed $188m. It would contribute $85m to the project, the University of Otago $10m, private sector funding of $45.5m and $10m from the Otago Community Trust.
Prime Minister John Key:
“We’re taking on board their request and we’re considering a package of wider issues,”
“At this stage no decision has been reached about whether we will make any contribution or not.”
“In the end, if government made a contribution it would be a modest contribution,”
