There are potentially several dangerous buildings which haven't been identified in Christchurch.

Quake leaders are now urging all property owners to re-check their buildings for damage caused by December 23.

Canterbury earthquake recovery minister Gerry Brownlee said building owners should get their buildings checked again following the aftershocks in December.

"It's worth going to have a look. We are getting damage on damage."

It was possible there were buildings "out there" which had sustained potentially dangerous damage, he said.

CERA chief executive Roger Sutton confirmed AMI's Hadlee stand was going to be demolished but the fate of the rest of the stadium was not yet known.

Sutton reiterated building owners needed to have buildings rechecked as there had been further damage in the December 23 earthquakes.
