In short:
The Tasmanian government will introduce “enabling legislation” to progress the Macquarie Point stadium in Hobart, bypassing the Project of State Significance process currently underway.
The stadium is a requirement for Tasmania to get its own AFL team.
What’s next?
Public consultation on the new legislation will open in May, with premier Jeremy Rockliff optimistic construction could begin by Christmas.
Tasmanian Labor opposition is unable to function as an opposition. Supports legislation it has not seen, which will trash our planning system and bankrupt the state. #nonewstadium
