After New Zealand won several medals in Olympic Games Tokyo 2021, New Zealand Olympic Committee starts to reconsider the feasibility of hosting Olympic Games in New Zealand in 2031. Christchurch is one of the cities under consideration. The above Development Brief provides the Council’s general aspirations for the area and will be considered during the process of awarding planning consent. However, it is important that any development proposals are viable and you should not simply assume that the above aspirations fall within this category. You still have to analyse the market and justify the recommended uses and all values used in your feasibility report.

In this project, you have been instructed by New Zealand Olympic Committee, Ara Development Limited, to advise them on the optimal land use(s) for the development site as to whether New Zealand could build a sport stadium to host Olympic Games in 2031. You are expected to explain the benefits brought by holding Olympic games from the four aspects: economic development, sport development, bi-culturalism and national pride.
