Eden Park could be home to up to 20 more concerts, on top of the 12 it is already allowed, under proposals put forward by the RMA Minister Chris Bishop. Auckland Council is being asked for feedback over the plan and has less than a month to respond. Over the last couple of months, the Minister has been leading an investigation into changing the local rules at Eden Park, describing the current restrictions to just 12 gigs as absurd and arbitrary.
Concerts and major events held at Eden Park inject millions of dollars into Auckland's economy, and the government is keen to see this expand, injecting $70 million into an events and tourism package. Kathryn is joined by Auckland's Deputy Mayor, Disley Simpson, and Nick Sautner, the CEO of the Eden Park Trust
