The events calendar at Auckland's Eden Park could soon be a lot busier.
RMA Reform Minister Chris Bishop has asked Auckland Council for feedback on a proposal to increase the number of concerts it hosts from 12 to 32 a year.
It's recommending the venue should be allowed to host up to 12 large concerts of more than 30 thousand attendees.
Eden Park CEO Nick Sautner told Kerre Woodham they’ve been hamstrung by so many regulations, and this is about simplifying and modernising the rules so the national stadium can be utilised.
In the last five years, he says they’ve invested $45 million into the stadium and redefined their business model, so they need to be able to continue evolving.
