The demolition of most of Christchurch's QEII Park Recreation and Sport is due to get underway and is expected to take about 18 weeks.
A Christchurch City Council spokesperson says the contractor will be on site this week, fencing will be erected and items retrieved in preparation for the demolition.
The council received a Notice of Demolition from the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority in April.
The Council has agreed to the demolition and CERA awarded the contract to Mainzeal Property and Construction Ltd.
The spokesperson says the buildings that need to be demolished are the main stadium building, the covered stand, the north and south open stands and the athletics track.
