TASMANIA has unveiled the most detailed images to date of its $115 million high performance headquarters as it pushes towards a 2028 debut.<\/p>\n
The facility, also to be the franchise’s administration hub, at Kingston south of Hobart, is expected to be up and running in October 2027.<\/p>\n
The club has lodged a development application with the local council in what CEO Brendon Gale described as a significant milestone.<\/p>\n
“It will be the workplace of our on- and off-field staff and an essential ingredient to our club’s success and sustainability,” Gale said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
“We are planning to be playing AFL and AFLW in 2028. The lodging of this application is in accordance with meeting these timeframes.”<\/p>\n
AFL boss Andrew Dillon on Tuesday said he was confident the Devils would take to the field in 2028, despite a snap Tasmanian election that has delayed progress on a new Hobart stadium.<\/p>\n
Construction of a 23,000-seat roofed venue at Macquarie Point is a condition of the Devils entering the national competition.<\/p>\n
The stadium, supported by Tasmania’s incumbent Liberal government and Labor opposition, must be voted through both houses of parliament to get the green light.<\/p>\n
The island state’s next government won’t be locked in until after parliament resumes on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The state government is contributing $105 million to the high performance centre, with the AFL chipping in the remaining $10 million.<\/p>\n
The centre will include two full-sized ovals, which are expected to be open to the public when not used by the club, as well as a large indoor training area.<\/p>\n
Dillon said with a “bit of luck” a provisional licence would be granted to the Devils by the end of this year, while the club’s concessions will be known before this year’s trade period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A development application has been lodged for Tasmania’s new headquarters Artist’s impression of Tasmania Devils’ new high performance…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":65321,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[560],"tags":[638,64,63,55,639,85,83],"class_list":["post-65320","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-afl","tag-afl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-australian-football-league","tag-australianfootballleague","tag-sports","tag-text"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65320","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=65320"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65320\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/65321"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=65320"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=65320"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=65320"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
