Project Status Update 18 November 2024

Construction started on the University of Tasmania (UTAS) Stadium redevelopment project with match day facility upgrades commencing 11 November 2024. Following a RFT process, The Deparement engaged a local firm Fairbrother to facilitate the works within the existing Carlton and United Breweries Stand.

These upgrades will align with Australian tier 2 sporting code guidelines, enhancing facilities for players, umpires, and officials. Improvements include refurbished change rooms, medical and massage rooms, strapping rooms, a briefing room, and upgraded warm-up and training spaces.
