PoSS Application
The application for the development of the new Multipurpose Stadium at Macquarie Point has been submitted, marking the beginning of its assessment as a Project of State Significance.
The Tasmanian Planning Commission is assessing the proposal against its Integrated Assessment Guidelines, which consider factors such as land-use planning, environmental impacts, cultural and heritage considerations, transport and movement, and economic and social outcomes.
The submission includes a detailed 260-page Summary Report along with around 4,000 pages of supporting documentation.
The Multipurpose Stadium features a roofed design and function centre, designed with fan experience in mind.
Some key features
The Multipurpose Stadium will include:
-
23,000 seated capacity, with 1,500 additional spaces offering structured standing options
-
31,500 patron capacity for major concert events
-
1,500 person function room with views to both the field of play and toward kunanyi/Mt Wellington

The submission is available on the Tasmanian Planning Commission’s website here.
The costings that informed the economic analysis work attached to our Project of State Significance application is available here.
The cost plan summary reflects a point in time snapshot, as at the concept design stage. Cost planning is a dynamic process that will change throughout the design process as contingencies are allocated and detailed design is refined.
