The West Stand has been repaired and refurbished including major earthquake strengthening, the addition of a new roof and other parts of the venue have been upgraded.
The seats were removed before work started on refurbishing the West Stand.
The bleachers (the tiers which the seats sit on) were removed so work could be completed on the foundations, including driving steel piles up to 38m into the ground.

The bleachers are returned to the West Stand after the completion of the foundation project.
Visitors notice the new future-proofed roof but most of the repairs remain hidden under the stand.
