Repairs to Wellington stadium on track

Repairs to Wellington's Westpac Stadium are on track to be completed in time for Keith Urban's concert.

Last weekend's Wellington Phoenix match at the stadium had to be postponed after engineers reported earthquake damage.

Stadium chief executive Shane Harmon said burst water pipes and broken windows have already been replaced.

"The building's moved a lot, which it is designed to do, but with that movement you get some cracking and concrete chippings, and that's been the main focus this week - making sure these are all cleaned out and repaired."

He said repairs will be done in time for Keith Urban and Carrie Underwood's concert in December.

"And barring, touch wood, no further major incidents between now and then we're certainly on track to be back for that concert."
