Christchurch's new stadium is slowly taking shape.  

Construction of the $683 million Te Kaha stadium is on schedule and within budget – set to open in April next year. 

Mayor Phil Mauger admits he's uncertain about parking but emphasises there will be public transport and foot traffic access. 

Te Kaha Project Director Kent Summerfield told Mike Hosking the roof is well and truly on, and cladding is underway. 

He says it's becoming a landmark in the city as it can be seen from quite a distance away.
