The mayor said this morning he finds out late today but not sure when it will be made public.

I'm unsure sorry!!
Paula Wriedt said they'd know within the next two weeks whether the HPC would be built at Rosny or Kingston, so I'm guessing soon.
Why would they not just build it at an existing sporting facility that already has new ovals, rather than taking over a public park?
Just have to hope to ground is suitable now fingers crossed
They build a housing estate at the other end, they built Eastlands shopping centre next door to it. Why would their be any obvious issues with building on it? Maybe too much dog poo on it?
Apparently there's quite hard rock under the ground at the site. That's why Kingston hasn't been ruled out yet.They build a housing estate at the other end, they built Eastlands shopping centre next door to it. Why would their be any obvious issues with building on it? Maybe too much dog poo on it?
Given both sites were deemed suitable, it would only take the geotech results to show Rosny being a bit more expensive to build at for Kingston to become the preferred site.
But there was already a plan on what to do with the land, the City Heart plan. It annoys a lot fewer people to let that plan continue and just use the twin ovals at Kingston.

They already had the vote on it and the yays won. The majority of people who voted against were probably doing a protest vote against the stadium more than they actually care about that space.
How do you know what their motivation was?
So how deep do they need to dig? Its on flat land for a start. They won't build on the side of a hill at CH Park, which seemed a silly idea anyway.
Kingston T.O seems surrounded by a hill on the western side & slopes away to the east, so where would they build another ground

Lot's of Dolerite is the whisper...
That's exactly what I heard too.
Its 2 Ovals & Buildings. We're not digging for gold. So how deep do the foundations need to go? I'd be surprised if they dont already know how deep the rock is. How would it create an issue anyway?
Have you ever built a house? You hit rock and it adds a fair bit to the cost. And we're talking a lot larger area than a house.
We're not building a stadium. Anyway, how deep is the rock? Was it on the old Rosny Golf course or CH park on the hill side? As I said, they built Eastlands next to it & a housing estate along the fairway. So I'll wait until the council says something.
You still have to excavate the entire footprint of two football ovals and a decent sized building.
If the site is deemed more expensive that Kingston to build at it will be moved imo.

I've heard from someone I know high up in one of the government departments that it's likely Kingston will end up being announced as location of Performance Centre.
Curious to hear if others have heard anything similar.

I haven't heard anything, but the delay certainly points that way.
