Yarrow Stadium Taranaki

Yarrow Stadium is being redeveloped to ensure its stands meet earthquake standards and the venue remains fit for purpose in the post-COVID era.

TMCo have completed the HVAC and hydraulic services design review.

The project has a $50m budget, of which $30m is being funded by ratepayers. The remaining $20m is being covered by a government grant under the ‘shovel-ready’ economic stimulus package to kick-start work on major projects.

The venue’s two grandstands were declared earthquake-prone and closed in 2017 and 2018. The $50m repair and refurbishment project was approved in 2019 and subsequently reviewed and modified to  allow for the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

A redesigned and rebuilt East Stand with more space for events such as conferences and trade exhibitions, and flexible and scalable seating capacity.

East Stand facilities (toilets, showers, changing rooms, food and beverage areas) available to users of the outer fields without needing to open up the entire stand or stadium.

Upgraded LED lighting for the main pitch, replacing the current  lighting which is beyond the end of its life
