flag Dunedin’s Forsyth Barr Stadium risks financial collapse unless city council increases funding, with options to limit debt to $37M or $49M by 2060.

flag Dunedin’s Forsyth Barr Stadium faces financial instability unless city council boosts annual funding, with a report warning debt could surge to $194 million by 2060 without action. flag Councillors are weighing a gradual $2.5 million increase over two years or a faster $2.25 million annual rise. flag The slower plan would cut projected debt to $37 million by 2060, below the stadium’s estimated land value, while the faster option leaves $49 million in debt. flag The stadium is seen as vital for community and economic benefits, but rising costs threaten its sustainability. flag The recommended funding shift would raise non-water rates by 0.8 percentage points in 2026-27, compared to 1.4 under the alternative, with a proposed overall rates increase of 10.5%.
