The new ice sports facility slated for Tuggeranong will now cost "considerably more" than $50 million, with the proponent reluctant to reveal any timelines about when construction might start or when it might be opened.
Proponent Stephen Campbell also said he had every confidence in the ability of the ageing ice rink at Phillip to hold up in the meantime, with Phillip's long-time manager John Raut recently resigning and the rink also being forced to close for several days this week after the "Zamboni" or ice resurfacing machine broke down over the weekend.
