Canberra Airport proposes all-event stadium in city centre

要点

• Canberra Airport has proposed building a new stadium in the city centre, at a site previously ruled out by the ACT government. The venue would host international music acts and major sporting events, with crowds within walking distance of public transport, hotels, and restaurants.
• The proposed site includes the Archbishop's House at Regatta Place, on Commonwealth land. The design is inspired by New Zealand's Te Kaha stadium in Christchurch, which opened in 2026 and cost around $531 million.
• Canberra Airport said it would contribute to the proposal's development but would not own or operate the stadium.
