4 Thursday June 15 2017 Latest Christchurch news at www. .kiwi The Star News Stadium upkeep costs soar SHOTS: The Brickworks – a bar twice held up by Roake. Armed robber should never be let out •From page 1 His reign of terror was carried out over two months, instilling fear throughout the hospitality industry. Police mounted a special taskforce to catch him. Said the manager: “There is nothing that would make me feel better about him being back out. We feel protected while he is locked up.” In May The Star revealed that Roake was part of the security team that worked at Richie and Gemma McCaw’s wedding. He has been remanded in custody until sentencing on August 23. •Interview with bar manager, bartender pages 6 & 7 • By Bridget Rutherford THE COST of maintaining Addington’s AMI Stadium has jumped by more than $700,000 in the past year, renewing calls for a replacement facility. City council figures show the maintenance costs for the temporary facility were $998,532 in 2016. That jumped from $153,259 the year before. Christchurch Stadium Trust chief executive Tim Shannahan said the 2016 costs were higher because Jamie Gough it included the replacement of the floorboard decks in the three main stands. “The original decks installed in 2012 were identified at that time as having a life of five years before replacement would be necessary.” In March the city council granted building consent for $1 million of work to prolong the stadium’s lifespan to 2022. The replacement floorboard decks were part of that work. In 2012, the stadium’s maintenance costs were $102,576, followed by $95,072 in 2013, and $67,367 in 2014. Mr Shannahan said the figures included annual, scheduled and reactive maintenance. AMI Stadium opened in 2012 as a replacement for earthquakedamaged Lancaster Park. A multi-purpose arena is part of the central city blueprint to replace Lancaster Park to be funded by the Crown and city council. The Crown has already spent about $40 million acquiring land for it in the blocks between Hereford, Tuam, Madras, and Barbadoes Sts. A business case for it was put on hold last year until the city council stated clear support for it. Now that Lancaster Park will be demolished, a pre-feasibility study for the replacement facility is under way. City councillor Jamie Gough said the multi-purpose arena needed to be built as soon as practically possible because AMI Stadium’s costs were “skyrocketing”. “It’s been put together with Blu-Tak and goodwill. We’ve had some incredible events but we need to be honest with ourselves, we’ve got these events EXPENSIVE: The cost of maintaining the temporary AMI Stadium has jumped, renewing calls for a new multipurpose arena to be built as soon as possible. because we’re a charity case. We need to be serious about being a city again.” He said originally the replacement facility was meant to have been built by now, ready to host a Lions match. There was “every possibility” the construction of the new facility would be sped up as a result of the submissions on the Annual Plan, he said. In May, Crusaders chief executive Hamish Riach urged the city council to build a modern, fit-for-purpose facility as soon as possible in his annual plan submission. Prizes to WIN! Purrrfect.
