Land use conflicts existed between the planned 10,000-seat venue and proposed coaster
Almost five months before they told the public that the budget to build the new PNE amphitheatre had ballooned by 53 per cent, officials behind the project faced a dilemma.
“New coaster has impacts to Festival Plaza, daylighting creek and amphitheatre design vision, thus impacting original approved business case outcomes,” said the presentation. “Land use conflicts exist between amphitheatre and launch coaster designs,” said the presentation. “Options analysis underway. Recommendation to be assessed by steering committee before being presented to PNE board for decision.”
Khella’s March 22 email to PNE management and city hall directors said officials were “reviewing if scope and design changes to the amphitheatre impact business case revenue projections and loan payback.” “As part of our final siting of the launch coaster prior to assembly, the decision was made to move it approximately 10 metres northeast to accommodate the footprint of the new amphitheatre,” said Laura Ballance. “As a result we needed some additional site servicing and piling work for the final location that was selected, which cost $1.5 million.”
