Sky City proposes to manage The Edge and construct a $40- to $60-million convention center, giving the casino operator a virtual monopoly of entertainment facilities in central Auckland.

Numerous studies agree that Auckland is losing millions to other cities by not having a convention center that can comfortably take up to 2500 delegates; so in exchange for expanding conference facilities, the Casino Control Authority would permit Sky City to add new gaming tables and gaming machines.

Sky City believes it can make efficiency gains from running both The Edge and its own facilities, which include the Sky City Auckland gaming and entertainment complex, while helping to offset Auckland City Council’s subsidy costs currently budgeted at $2 million this year.
