Description
Tasmania Stadium Project Gains Traction: Key Independent Backs $1.13B Venue for AFL ExpansionA crucial independent politician in Tasmania has thrown her support behind a $1.13 billion, 23,000-seat stadium project at Macquarie Point in Hobart. This development is a prerequisite for the Tasmania Devils to join the Australian Football League and Australian Football League Womens competitions in 2028. The project has already cleared the lower house and now requires the approval of at least eight out of fifteen upper house members. Independent member Bec Thomas, who secured several concessions from the state government, including a fixed cost cap on the states contribution, has confirmed her support. The Australian Football League is contributing $15 million, and the federal government is providing $240 million. The decision comes after a public debate, with an estimated 15,000 people rallying in support of the stadium.
