The under construction Hubert Murray Stadium is set to be the final destination for the Papua New Guinea Hunters.
Earlier this week, web media outlet looppng.com announced the moving of the SP-sponsored team out of the Bomana Police College to the Queen Emma Lodge in Kokopo while waiting for the Hunters Village to be completed, which should be by the end of next month.
The newly-accorded Hunters venue was mentioned by the Minister for Sports and Pacific Games Justin Tkatchenko, pictured, during a tour of the sports icon which is 10 per cent complete in Konedobu, Port Moresby, on Wednesday.
The Sports Minister along with the six trustees, Babani Maraga, William Skate Junior, Ovia Oala Rarua, Peter Tsiamalili Jr, Kostas Constantinou and chairman Sir Mick Curtain, were at the stadium to review the progress of works carried out while Sir Mick ran through the progress of the stadium works to the minister and other trustees. Tkatchenko said after the stadium was complete it would accommodate all Hunters games, while the Hunters Village in Kokopo, East New Britain would be left to Agmark to facilitate sporting activities for the people of East New Britain.
The western stands, directly opposite the Royal Papua Yacht Club will seat up to 5000 and will be the only stand with a roof, office space and corporate boxes, while the northern end, facing the Kone field, will have up to 10 food outlets.
The northern and southern stands will seat up to 4000 while the eastern stands, near the IPA (Investment Promotion Authority) Haus will seat 7000.
Tkatchenko thanked Sir Mick Curtain and lauded the Private-Public Partnership (PPP) deal struck late last year which saw work at the stadium began early January this year.
Due to the nature of the works and time factor, the stands with their seating have been pre-fabricated off-site and when the foundation is laid, the prefabricated material will be lifted in to complete the structures before the Pacific Games next year in Port Moresby.
