00:00 Prominent Melbourne property developer David Mariner is spearheading a push for a mega
00:06 sporting and entertainment precinct on the site of Elwick Racecourse in Glenorchy.
00:11 There's no publicly released designs, there's no price tag or detail on who might pay for
00:16 it, but Stadium 3.0 has already been pitched to members of the Tasmanian Parliament.
00:22 It also includes a large social housing development at nearby Dowsing Point, currently the Derwent
00:28 Army Barracks.
00:29 It's the second privately backed stadium proposal in Tasmania after the Regatta Point bid by
00:34 Dean Coleman and former Premier Paul Lennon.
00:38 The Tasmanian Government has already dismissed Stadium 3.0, telling the ABC that it wasn't
00:43 open to entertaining any alternative to Mac Point.
00:46 The Greens like the housing part of the proposal, while Labor says that it's open-minded to
00:51 any new development that brings in new jobs.
00:54 TAS Racing has also met with those behind Stadium 3.0 to discuss development opportunities
01:00 at the racecourse, but the original Macquarie Point site remains the priority for the AFL
01:05 and the state government.
01:06 I think it's something that we would benefit from, but just not in that spot.
01:11 While having a team is really good, the infrastructure itself is probably not in the best location,
01:16 but then again it also is because it's going to support businesses as well.
01:20 A funding agreement for the Macquarie Point redevelopment was signed by the state and
01:24 federal governments last week.
01:26 A stadium wasn't mentioned in that agreement.
