I don't think it would be THAT expensive for a 11,000 stadium.

Chesterfield and Colchester's stadiums (around 11k) both cost in the 13-16m GBP range (yes they were built around 10-15 years ago so would be a bit higher today, but probably not an insane amount more).

So we could possibly build a stadium for 30-40m NZD. That seems pretty fair. Of course I'm not a builder or commercial property investor so I could be way off, but if other clubs in the UK have done it 'relatively' cheaply... then maybe we can too.

11000, too small for anything. Sure it would look and sound great for a regular game with 7-8k in it, but that's only for half the year. It's not going to be big enough fort other events that bring in the money when the football isnt on.

You gotta remember our league doesnt run for 40+ weeks of the year, so owners have to find other streams of revenue, like concerts etc.

Well Adelaide has no issue hosting the Foo Fighters at Hindmarsh every tour and that's 15k seated (16.5k capacity), so maybe it's worth going up to that.
