Phil Mauger: Christchurch Mayor talks housing intensification, Maidstone Rd and Glandovey Rd, Avon-Heathcote Tidal Barrier - Canterbury Mornings with John MacDonald

Christchurch's Mayor is suggesting the city's temporary sports stadium could be redeveloped for housing.  

Addington's Apollo Projects Stadium opened in 2012 when the quake-damaged Lancaster Park closed permanently. 

The City Council's confirmed structures including the grandstand will be removed when Te Kaha opens in April, but the future of the Addington site remains unclear. 

Mayor Phil Mauger told John MacDonald it should be intensified and turned into housing, so people can jump onto a bus and head into town easily.
