Tasmania's Controversial $1.13B Stadium: Approval Likely
Update: 2025-12-04
Description
Despite controversy and opposition, the $1.13 billion Macquarie Point stadium in Hobart, Australia, is poised for approval, with nine independent council members supporting it. The stadium, set to host the Tasmania Devils Australian Rules Football team, has faced criticism for its high cost and potential displacement of an Indigenous truth and reconciliation park. Economists warn of limited benefits and a rushed process, while federal politicians express concerns about the deals viability. The final vote is scheduled for Thursday, with the stadium project expected to pass despite significant public and expert concerns.
