The Macquarie Point Development Corporation has submitted the application to develop the Multipurpose Stadium at Macquarie Point.
The submission marks the start of the assessment through the Project of State Significance process.
The Tasmanian Planning Commission will now assess the proposal against the Integrated Assessment Guidelines that it published earlier this year.
“The submission is the cumulation of our work over the past six-months to carefully design the Multipurpose Stadium, while considering land-use planning, environmental, cultural and heritage, transport and movement, and economic and social impacts and benefits, as set out in the Integrated Assessment Guidelines," said Anne Beach, CEO of MPDC.
“Our submission presents a strong case for the development of the Multipurpose Stadium here at Macquarie Point.”
The submission comprises a 260-page Summary Report and around 4,000 pages of supporting reports provided in attachments.
“Our work shows the exciting opportunity that this project presents for Hobart, the region and the state,” she said.
“It will see the development of a new roofed stadium and function centre in central Hobart, which has been carefully designed to integrate with the precinct and to offer a fan-first experience and design.
“This includes accessible internal and external concourses and a carefully designed seating bowl that will bring crowds closer to the action.”
The Multipurpose Stadium is expected to support thousands of jobs during construction and about 200 jobs on an ongoing basis once operational.
The full submission is available on the Commission’s website at
