Online at the moment there’s just a light page from Canberra Stadium and a similar one from Manuka Oval.
But what I can gather is that today the Stanhope Government jumped the shark, as all Government’s do, and turned its thoughts to colosseums.
As far as I can tell the plan is to scrap most of the stands at Manuka and convert the oval to community use with some seating.
The existing Canberra Stadium would be converted into an oval for cricket and AFL.
And then they’d build out at Bruce a new 40,000+ rectangular stadium planned to host major games feeding out of the Sydney market.
They’re still calling for comment on this radical vision but feel free to express your views below.
