Overview

The Mac Point Multipurpose Stadium is a significant infrastructure development project that will be a key part of the urban renewal of Mac Point.

Mac Point will be home to an iconic stadium for Tasmania and a destination for locals and visitors. ​It will:
- have 23,000 seats, be roofed and be the home ground of our Tasmanian AFL team.
- be Tasmania's premier Multipurpose sporting, arts, events and entertainment facility.

Vision

We aspire to build the Mac Point Precinct into a place to gather, celebrate and reflect, through the arts, culture, sport, events and entertainment.

​We will create a mixed-use precinct that is accessible to all people, offers vibrant experiences and destinations, and contributes to the delivery of the 30-Year Greater Hobart Plan.

You can view the Mac Point Precinct Plan here.

Concept Design

We have strived to create a welcoming, functional, and uniquely Tasmanian experience.

The design of our Multipurpose Stadium has been inspired by the history of our site, a connection to place, the experiences we want to create and the opportunities this development will provide for Tasmania, both in bringing this stadium to life and when we open the doors.

Planning Process

On 16 October 2023, the proposal for a multipurpose stadium at Macquarie Point was declared a Project of State Significance and will be assessed by the Tasmanian Planning Commission.

The Tasmanian Planning Commission released draft guidelines that are currently available online, alongside feedback received in response.
