Petone Arena – design description

Planned new stadium in Petone, across the harbor from Wellington, would cover two of five existing football fields at Petone Recreations Grounds, using the only existing stand as one of its ends. Three remaining sides would see purpose-built cantilever structures, altogether giving 12,000 seats. The stadium is to be designed by Warren & Mahoney, architects also behind Westpac Stadium.  

Total budget is expected at $NZ 44-48 million (€27-30m / $37-40m). Hutt City Council would be expected to invest $NZ 25 million into the project from taxpayers money, while Wellington Phoenix FC and their partners would cover the remainder.
