Episode Details

Hobart’s $1.13 billion AFL stadium project has officially begun with earthworks underway at Macquarie Point, setting the stage for Tasmania’s long-awaited Devils team to debut in 2028. Though not ready until late 2030, the groundwork signals a new era for Tasmania — promising economic growth and local pride. Two major builders are vying for the contract, including WeBuild, which faces workplace safety allegations in NSW — though they’ve pleaded not guilty. The Macquarie Point Development Corporation will evaluate bids next month, aiming to pick a preferred builder by October and finalize the contract by year’s end, confident the allegations don’t disqualify WeBuild from competing across state lines.
