The latest news on the Canterbury Multi-Use Arena (CMUA).

Monday 13 September 2021

Now that all areas outside of Auckland have returned to Covid Alert Level 2, Council and Kōtui staff have returned to the Te Hononga Civic Offices at Hereford St to continue working on the preliminary design of the CMUA.

The most recent lockdown didn't affect timeframes of the preliminary design, as all staff were able to continue working on the project from home.
