New name to take effect immediately
The Palmerston North City Council and Central Energy Trust advise that the former Arena Manawatū is now to be known as Central Energy Trust Arena.
The memorandum of understanding between the two organisations provides development of the stadium under a 10-year partnership, with the City Council investing $17.5m over a 10-year period, and the Trust investing $2.2 million.
Palmerston North Mayor Grant Smith concluded the deal with Central Energy Trust chairman Sir Brian Elwood and deputy chairman Rod Titcombe at the venue in Pascal St in late September.
A review of the stadium in 2013 prioritised a set of projects which included a new stand, better lighting, seating and changing facilities.
The new name, Central Energy Trust Arena, is effective immediately.
