Consultation is open for the Northern Access Road, with the Tasmanian Government today putting the call out for submissions.
Draft concept designs propose a new road extending from the Tasman Highway/McVilly Drive interchange and curving around the north-eastern edge of the Cenotaph.
Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Kerry Vincent, said this was a critical project supporting the Port of Hobart and the future of the Macquarie Point Precinct.
"The Northern Access Road delivers a new northern entry point to the Port of Hobart and the future Antarctic precinct, as well as paving the way to deliver our stadium," Minister Vincent said.
"Importantly, the design includes a dedicated bus plaza to enable public transport operations during major events ensuring they run smoothly.
"The project team is currently engaging with key stakeholders to understand existing site uses, understand their concerns and look at ways to minimise impacts and improve serviceability.
"I also want to encourage the broader community for their input. The feedback will play a vital role in shaping the detailed design phase.
"We are delivering for Tasmania by investing in projects like the Northern Access Road."
