    The opening of Christchurch's city centre stadium has been again pushed back

    The opening of Christchurch's city centre stadium has been again pushed back


    An update for city councillors shows it's been delayed to 2025 - and it's believed to be running about 50 million dollars over budget.

    Councillor Sam MacDonald says the project's battling a few challenges.

    He says the most important thing is getting contracts signed next month - but there are constraints in the labour market and issues getting materials through ports.
