Plans have been approved for a new indoor arena at Cardiff Bay and the wider redevelopment of Atlantic Wharf. The 17,000-capacity indoor arena will be built on the current site of the car park at County Hall and part of Schooner Way.
Construction work is due to begin this summer on what forms one of the major projects of Cardiff council, with the arena due to open in early 2025. Councillors on the planning committee granted permission for the arena on Wednesday, March 16, as well as the wider redevelopment with flats, hotels, museums, offices and more.
The arena will be built by developers Robertson Group and operated by Live Nation and Oak View Group. The group said 1,000 jobs would be created and millions of visitors brought to the city.
