In short:
The ABC has obtained a more detailed cost estimate for the proposed Macquarie Point stadium, with newly released information showing a breakdown of $171 million over 30 years for maintenance and upkeep — on top of its construction cost.
The information — obtained from the Macquarie Point Development Corporation — also shows the annual cost of construction delays, the amount being spent on consultants and how much the roof will cost.
What’s next?
The way that lifecycle costs are funded could depend on how the government negotiates a public-private partnership, however economists fear the state will end up footing much of the bill.
