The Tasmanian government reveals its business case it hopes will convince the federal government to shell out $240 million to help pay for a brand new stadium in Hobart, which will in part be modelled on a yet-to-be-finished project in New Zealand.
The business case estimates the planning phase could be completed by late 2024, contractor appointed in early 2025 and construction complete by mid-2028, meaning the Tasmanian AFL team would need to play its first two seasons at Bellerive Oval and Launceston's York Park.
The site has already had 67,000 tonnes of soils removed, along with 2.3 million litres of contaminated groundwater, underground tanks and mechanics pits. About 10,000 cubic metres of contaminated material will need to be removed, existing warehouses demolished and a brewery relocated as part of the enabling works.
The government also argued the proposed Macquarie Point stadium would benefit from an expanded Derwent River ferry service, with four new terminals — including at the Derwent Entertainment Centre — planned for the coming years, funded by the Commonwealth.
