CANBERRA STADIUM MASTER PLAN
OPTIONS FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
In developing the options, stakeholders were consulted and the site and the surrounding area was analysed.
The master planning consultants have developed four options for the future development of the Canberra Stadium. The options are summarised below and additional information about each option, including illustrations, is also available on this site.
OPTION CS1
This includes upgrading the existing facilities with a slight increase in the number of seats and a new roof to the West (Mal Meninga) Stand.

Option Cs4
This is part of a combined option that provides for a new rectangular stadium adjacent to the Canberra Stadium for rugby and soccer and relocates major cricket and AFL games from Manuka Oval to a refurbished Canberra Stadium. Manuka Oval would become a community oval.

All options include environmentally sustainable design initiatives (such as, but not exclusive to, water and solar harvesting).
All options also envisage a new bus station adjacent to Gungalin Drive to improve sustainable transport to the venue.
COMPARATIVE COSTS OF MASTER PLAN OPTIONS
The table summarises the indicative development costs for each option for Canberra Stadium and Manuka Oval.
Only Option Cs4 + Mo3 should be read together as they are a combined option.
The other options for Canberra Stadium are independent of the options for Manuka Oval. A decision about which, if any option to adopt at Canberra Stadium could be made separately from a decision about which, if any, option to adopt for Manuka Oval.
