Christchurch's new stadium faces another budget blowout. The City Council's 30 thousand seat stadium is now projected to cost up to 683 million dollars. If the project can't be brought into line, Council will need to decide whether to increase the budget, scale the project back, or stop it. Councillor Jake McLellan told Heather du Plessis-Allan there's now real uncertainty around how things will play out. “I don’t want to be in the position where we get a stadium that is reduced in its ability and it actually costs just as much as it was ever going to if we actually bit the bullet now.” LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
