ABC News: Power supply for Macquarie Point stadium not yet costed or planned as key deadlines approach

In short:

Hobart’s power grid will undergo a “lengthy and complex” extension in order to accommodate the Macquarie Point stadium, right to information documents show.

The upgrades are yet to be fully planned or costed, but final decisions on options were expected to be made in “early 2026” — with the Macquarie Point Development Corporation expected to foot most of the bill.

What’s next?

The first stage of works could involve extensive underground cable works in several central Hobart locations, while a new 1,650 square metre substation could be required on the Macquarie Point site.
