An expert planning panel has defended their scathing assessment of the proposed Macquarie Point stadium project.
In short:
After releasing a scathing report into Hobart’s proposed Macquarie Point stadium in September, a panel of planning experts have defended their findings in a parliamentary hearing.
Panellists argued that Tasmania faces a “compound interest trap” and questioned if the funding could be compared to schools and hospitals.
What’s next?
Two independents involved in the hearing are set to play a key role in the final vote on the stadium, which is set to take place in Tasmania’s upper house next week
