Auckland Arena is a once-in-a-generation opportunity.
Auckland Arena is a privately-backed, community-led proposal to revitalize Western Springs by creating a world class sporting and entertainment precinct, at zero cost to the rate payer
It’s not just about building a stadium — it’s about transforming the entire Western Springs precinct into a connected hub for sport, community, and culture.
We’re asking for your support to help bring it to life — because this kind of opportunity doesn’t come around often. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity.
