Visualisations released by the Tasmanian government for the proposed stadium at Macquarie Point are unlikely to be enough, alone, to convince the state’s RSL to give the project their blessing, according to its chief executive.
The images of the proposed 23,000-seat stadium — released on the State Growth website — have been produced to provide more information about the potential impact on views to and from the Hobart Cenotaph.
They are not final designs, with the Department of State Growth reiterating in a note on the documents that “the official design process for the stadium has not commenced”.
According to the visualisations — created by Liminal Architecture — at the roof’s peak, the stadium could reach a height of 40 metres, with an assumed size of 240m in length and 210m in width, not including a concourse around the stadium.
