Chief Minister Andrew Barr says the government will need to do more work to reduce the cost of a new stadium in Canberra after it received new advice warning of prices to complete the project soaring over $1 billion.
Mr Barr on Tuesday tabled a consultants' report from May 2024 that outlined the cost ranges of stadium projects in the ACT, including a new stadium at Bruce and a stadium on the Civic pool site.
The cost of a new 30,000-seat stadium in Civic would be between $2.128 billion and $2.9 billion, figures released by Yvette Berry on Monday showed.
