PMAT’s (Planning Matters Alliance Tasmania) will today host a public meeting to discuss the development of  Macquarie Point and the future of the agreed Master Development Plan for the site, developed and published with  community consultation in advance of the Premier’s proclamation that the site should instead be used to develop an  AFL-grade sports stadium.

Today – Wednesday 16 November

As recently as late June 2022, the Premier and relevant minister issued a statement lauded the remediation and  planning work done at Mac Point and celebrated “the planning and approvals for The District which comprises three  areas, The Gateway, The Promenade and The Underground, which is now ready to go to market.”  

PMAT does not have a position on the proposed stadium at Mac Point and has called the meeting to generate  community discussion and investigate the planning processes already undertaken for the master planning process,  and what is proposed with regards to the new stadium proposal.
