Thank you Honourable Speaker.
My question is to the Premier.
Premier, earlier this month your government and Macquarie Point Development Corporation released with great fanfare visualisations of the stadium 1.0 design.
Notably, however, in all the visualistions released NONE show how the planned stadium would appear from the cenotaph or how it would impact the sightlines.
The CEO of RSL Tasmania wrote to you on 18 July expressing in no uncertain terms their concern about the impact of stadium 1.0 plans on the Cenotaph.
Mr Hardy wrote that “At 54 metres tall and only 96 metres from the Cenotaph the stadium will dwarf the Cenotaph”.
He further wrote that “the very essence of the Cenotaph is its sightlines, to destroy these sightlines is to desecrate, humiliate and play little more than lip service to our sacred place.”
Premier will you come clean with the RSL and Tasmanians and release visualisations which show honestly the impact of your stadium on the Cenotaph?
