In short:
Earthworks are underway at Macquarie Point, where Hobart’s new $1.13 billion stadium is expected to be built by 2030.
Two companies are currently vying for the right to build the facility, including one that is facing workplace safety charges in New South Wales.
What’s next?
The Macquarie Point Development Corporation says a preferred construction contractor is expected to be chosen in October.
What nonsense. All they have “started”, is taking away the decontaminated soil that had to be taken away anyway. Stadium construction could not “start”because no contracts have been signed. #nonewstadium
