Major milestone achieved as Project of State Significance Order for multi-purpose Stadium approved.
A major milestone has been achieved today, with Parliament approving the Order to progress the Mac Point Multipurpose Stadium as a Project of State Significance.
This means the Tasmanian Planning Commission will undertake an integrated assessment including broad environmental, social and economic considerations of the project.
The assessment, which includes opportunities for the community to have their say, is undertaken by the Commission at arms-length from the Government.
The Rockliff Liberal Government is investing in game-changing infrastructure such as the Mac Point Urban Renewal Project.
Premier Jeremy Rockliff said this Government is turbocharging the Tasmanian economy with our record infrastructure agenda.
"The multi-purpose stadium at Mac Point will be the centrepiece of this important precinct, unlocking investment and jobs," the Premier said.
"The approval of this Order will help progress the Mac Point Stadium as a Project of State Significance, to turn dreams into a reality."
The Rockliff Liberal Government has the vision, aspiration, and conviction to continue taking Tasmania forward.
"Our Government is delivering on our long-term plan to create jobs and opportunity for Tasmanian families and build more connected communities," the Premier said.
The next step in the Project of State Significance process will be the development of guidelines for the assessment by the Tasmanian Planning Commission over the coming four months. It is expected the development of the guidelines will include public consultation.
