Realising The National Capital Plan
National Stadium & Convention Centre
Why are we doing this?
Achieving Government aspirations, tourism and visitation.
This proposal is fundamental to achieving the ACT Governments Strategy for economic growth over the next decade and beyond through increasing tourism, event visitation and stamping Canberra as a destination of choice from regional, national and international centres, in addition:
Why are so many organisations supporting this proposal?
The various user groups and stakeholders in the Business, Sporting, Entertainment and Hospitality Sectors see this as an opportunity to unite behind the Government to achieve a shared vision as to new infrastructure to replace ageing structures no longer fit for purpose, specifically the Convention Centre and the outdoor Bruce Stadium.
Whilst there has been division as to the “placement” of any new stadium, there is no dissent as to maintaining the Convention Centre in a City location.
The Proposal outlines changes to the design of a stadium, called the “Inverted Bowl”, that reduces the gross land area required, creates an “events” environment and satisfies the requirements of participation sports using a rectangular field.
These arguments are key to adopting a joint development approach between the Convention and Stadium outcomes, utilising the established entertainment, hospitality and transport infrastructure of the City to augment their integration as a “Precinct” within the wider Cityscape.
This is a unique opportunity, with a proven Business Model of a PPP to aide in its delivery, for intergenerational infrastructure to be delivered without adverse impacts on Government's bottom lines.
