Antarctica NZ board reassesses Scott Base redevelopment plans, costs rise from $250m to $500m.

Antarctica New Zealand's board will reassess Scott Base redevelopment plans, with costs rising from $250m to nearly $500m. The project has been on hold due to a lack of a commercial agreement with main contractor Leighs Construction. A revised business case is being prepared with $22m allocated for the redevelopment, focusing on relocating science experiments, upgrading infrastructure, and building a new main base.
