Tasmanian government assesses construction bids for new Macquarie Point stadium

Summary

The Tasmanian government is currently evaluating tender bids from Constructure Joint Venture and BESIX Watpac for the construction of a new 24,000-capacity stadium at Macquarie Point. This project serves as a requirement for the official granting of the 19th AFL licence to the Devils. Officials aim to finalize a contract by the end of this year, with a stadium completion target set for the end of 2030. Separate from the main stadium project, Fairbrother Construction has been selected to build the Devils' high-performance centre in Kingston. The training facility's oval redevelopment is expected by October 2027, with full completion scheduled for mid-2028. These infrastructure developments align with the club's planned entry into the AFL competition in 2028.
