One of the key features of the official concept design of the $715 million Macquarie Point stadium is a ‘big plastic roof’.
The roof would be an Australian first, and is a non-negotiable feature for the stadium imposed by the AFL in order to give Tasmania a license for a team in the national league.
Using timber support, the ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) roofing has been likened to a giant “backyard shade sail”.
These are the wrong questions, @abc. The real questions are (1) what is the final cost of the whole project (2) where is the money coming from (3) what cuts in government services are required to pay for this project?#nohobartstadium #nonewstadium https://t.co/nhcvbKbqE8
