The $775 million price tag for a stadium at Hobart’s Macquarie Point does not include the cost of building a multi-storey underground car park, or relocating the heritage-listed Goods Shed, the agency in charge of the build has confirmed.
Macquarie Point Development Corporation chief executive Anne Beach told a Budget Estimates Hearing that the three-level private car park inside the stadium, currently designed to accommodate 536 cars, was not included in the cost estimate as it was a “whole-of-precinct outcome”.
