The Civil Contractors Federation Tasmania (CCF Tasmania) proudly supports the Macquarie Point stadium development, a transformative project vital to the prosperity of Tasmania’s civil contracting sector.
CEO Andrew Winch today emphasised its importance of major projects in Tasmania, stating, this $775 million stadium isn’t just an economic win through events, conferences and tourism in Tasmania—it’s a lifeline for our industry, driving jobs, skills, and economic growth.
The stadium, set to be the home of the Tasmania Devils by 2029 and a key events and conference venue, promises over 4,200 construction jobs, bolstering a sector that builds and maintains Tasmania’s critical infrastructure – roads, water, power, and waste systems.
“A vibrant construction industry means more apprenticeships, better training, a stronger workforce and an economic boost for local Tasmania businesses,” Mr Winch said.
“Macquarie Point will showcase Tasmanian talent and materials, like its timber roof, keeping dollars local.”
Beyond jobs, a thriving construction sector fuels tourism, freight, and exports, lifting communities statewide.
Mr Winch said delays to the development risk stalling this momentum, especially with remediation underway.
“We urge swift approval by Parliament and all parties,” Winch said.
“This development secures our future – let’s build it.”
