Watch: Behind the scenes at Te Kaha

Take a look inside the west stand of Te Kaha, Canterbury’s Multi-Use Arena.

Project Director Kent Summerfield provides an overview of how construction is progressing on site in the latest video update.

The concrete seating plats now stretch about halfway around the east stand. The plats will support the arena’s seats.

A quarter of the radial truss roof supports have now been installed, with more being added each week, in preparation for the roof work beginning in the coming months.

A lot of progress is also being made within the four-storey west stand, which houses player facilities, a function space, corporate boxes, coaches' and media facilities.

The framing and glass frontage are being installed to the function space, along with a range of services.

The project remains within budget and on track to open in April 2026.
