Construction is now underway on the University of Tasmania (UTAS) Stadium redevelopment in Launceston with work on the matchday facility upgrades commencing this week.
Arrangements have now been finalised with local firm Fairbrother for the works, which are within the existing Carlton and United Breweries Stand.
The existing matchday facilities will be brought up to Australian tier 2 sporting code guidelines. Umpires, officials and players will enjoy refurbished change rooms, medical, massage and strapping rooms, a briefing room, warm up and training spaces.
The UTAS Stadium Redevelopment Project in Launceston is jointly funded by the Australian and Tasmanian Governments with each contributing $65 million.
The redevelopment aims to attract national sporting and entertainment events to Launceston, supporting the City of Launceston’s vision to make the city a premier business, retail and lifestyle hub.
This milestone reinforces the Australian and Tasmanian governments’ dedication to delivering a premier sports and entertainment venue for the region, enhancing the overall experience for visitors and the local community.
