In short:
The race for the contract to build Hobart’s proposed waterfront stadium is down to two, after an expression of interest phase.
One bid is from a joint venture, which includes a subsidiary company of the Chinese government’s China State Construction Engineering Corporation.
What’s next?
The Tasmanian government hopes to award a contract to build the stadium by the end of 2026.
Same old story: misleading image (roof is NOT transparent); an announcement about nothing; government trying to keep the project “dream” alive as economy plummets; all this as the stadium cost - wait for it - goes through the roof. #politas #nonewstadium @kristiejohnstonmp.bsky.social
