Our Place: a Tasmanian Vision for Macquarie Point 

The Macquarie Point Vision is an iconic housing development of 1,000 new homes for 2,000-3,000 people that has as its centrepiece an enhanced, nationally significant Truth and Reconciliation Park. It speaks to what Hobartians need, which is housing, and what they want, which is reconciliation with the Palawa people. It is about Tasmania’s needs and values. It is about creating an iconic, internationally significant urban renewal project which answers our needs and addresses our problems. It is about hope and pride, truth and the future. It’s about our place.

Cost

This vision for Macquarie Point would be developed and built in stages deriving funding from a mix of various state, federal and private sources. Our Vision was launched in early 2023 using then-prevailing costings. At that time, the 1,000 homes were costed at $300 million, while the Truth and Reconciliation Park and Indigenous Cultural and Heritage Centre were together costed at $100 million, a total of $400 million.
