Work has begun on the $268 million stadium which is expected to be completed by the end of 2009. All four cranes are in operation as the futuristic stadium’s construction begins to emerge from its foundations.
Precinct General Manager Andrew Travis is pleased with progress on the site;
"Construction of the structure is continuing on all fronts. The lift shafts have now reached their maximum height, providing us with a sense of scale for the finished product. Seating plat installation has commenced in some sections and we are looking forward to the upcoming commencement of the Bio Frame roof structure. Overall the Stadium remains on schedule to be opened in early 2010."
In June the first open day was held with various stakeholders attending, including representatives from the future tenants. Minister Theo Theophenous and Grocon's Daniel Grollo both addressed the gathering who enjoyed a tour through the site.
