Macquarie Point Site Masterplan released

The Tasmanian Government has today released the Macquarie Point Site Masterplan.

The report shows the size and location of development across the site, including, residential offerings, commercial offerings, retail and hospitality and the Aboriginal culturally informed zone that make up the precinct.

Minister for Macquarie Point Urban Renewal, Eric Abetz, said this vibrant, mixed-use precinct will be a boon for the entire state.

“This holistic masterplan brings together jobs, housing, construction, residential and retail offerings, and everything in between,” Minister Abetz said.

“It demonstrates how each component will work together, how it will provide employment for Tasmanians and how this industrial wasteland will be transformed.”

The report shows that the Residential Foreshore Development has the potential to accommodate approximately 100 dwellings.

“The Macquarie Point site has always been about more than just a stadium, it is something that benefits the community and economy,” Minister Abetz said.

“We have always championed this vision every step of the way and there is a strategic plan in place to deliver these community outcomes.

“We are continuing to drive the urban renewal of this site and to revitalise and activate this area of the city.”

The Macquarie Point Site Masterplan has been developed to support an update to the planning scheme. The planning scheme update will include working with the Hobart City Council as the planning authority and include public consultation.

The submission is expected in the second half of 2026.
