Please see our joint letter from the Planning Matters Alliance Tasmania (PMAT) and Tasmanian Conservation Trust (TCT), dated 23 May 2025, sent to all members of the Tasmanian Parliament titled ‘Macquarie Point Multi-purpose Stadium – advantages of allowing the Projects of State Significance process to conclude’. This letter serves as our submission to the Draft Macquarie Point Planning Permit Bill 2025.

 

While the letter was sent prior to the release of the Draft Macquarie Point Planning Permit Bill 2025 the content is still pertinent as a response to the draft legislation. As stated in our joint letter, the Planning Matters Alliance Tasmania and the Tasmanian Conservation oppose any legislation that aims to stop the Projects of State Significance process from concluding, which would be achieved by ‘Schedule four – Legislation revoked’ of the Draft Macquarie Point Planning Permit Bill 2025. The letter argues that there are numerous significant advantages of allowing the Projects of State Significance process to conclude.
