In short:
The Macquarie Point Development Corporation has unveiled its master plan for the precinct surrounding Tasmania’s new AFL stadium.
The ABC also understands that two firms are now vying for the right to build the stadium, including a company involved in the Christchurch One New Zealand stadium.
What’s next?
The project is expected to enter the tender process next week.
Rather than lauding the images in this Plan, a journalist should ask MPDC why the roof is shown as transparent, when MPDC announced in March it would be translucent because cricket could not be played under a transparent roof. Misleading image. #nonewstadium @kristiejohnstonmp.bsky.social
