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
-
159.5m x 128.5m oval field-of-play
-
transparent fixed dome-shaped roof supported by steel and locally sourced and grown timber
-
an elevated 360-degree internal concourse, as well as an external concourse
-
an intimate seating bowl that will bring crowds closer to the action
-
a concourse design that enables fans to see the field-of-play while waiting for food, drinks and to use amenities
-
a serviced grandstand on the western side with three levels of functional space above the field.
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.
Response to the TPC
We recently responded to the Tasmanian Planning Commission’s (TPC) request for further information as part of the assessment process for the Multipurpose Stadium, a Project of State Significance (PoSS). Our response can be found here.
After we submitted our PoSS application in September, the TPC wrote to us late last year asking for more detail on some aspects of the project. Seeking clarifications and further information is a normal part of assessing large and complex developments.
In response, we have provided a comprehensive set of supplementary reports, including providing clarifications and information on the design, planning analysis, further information on the financial analysis, further information on transport and movement, environmental information, and engagement. To further support the process, we have also updated and created additional renders, including showing where the stadium building name will be located on the structure.
We will continue working with the TPC as the process moves forward, including providing further updates and information as required. The TPC will release a draft Integrated Assessment Report for public exhibition after the first phase of its review is complete. It is anticipated it will also note when hearings are likely to be held.
