00:02Not just the home of the devils. Construction industry groups say Macquarie Point could be the ultimate classroom.
00:09We want to use the major project of the stadium to showcase what building construction can do and it would
00:14be a great thing for all school kids to come and enjoy that.
00:16Learn about building and construction, get themselves a white card, get themselves some micro-credentials and then classes could build
00:23pavers that could be laid around the stadium site.
00:26They say $1.7 million from the state government could fund an on-site learning hub.
00:32Work here is ongoing but the cost of the stadium is still being scrutinised. The government is set to defy
00:40a parliamentary order to produce a new cost estimate.
00:43Releasing further information could impact probity. It's unhelpful when we want to keep cost pressure on our tenderers and it's
00:50unlikely to be particularly accurate. When we have real numbers we'll share them.
00:54The two stadium tenderers have handed in their bids and a contract is expected to be signed by year's end.
01:00A committee today pressing on what happens if the quotes are above the promised $1.13 billion.
01:08You're saying that the government is committed to maintaining its Tasmanian taxpayer spend to $875 million?
01:14That's the position but should the situation change then that is what an agile government does.
01:22The state government says it will look to other funding partners or manage the design to meet budgets.
01:28But the question remains, would a significant cost increase be signed off on without the public being told?
01:36What can we as the people of Tasmania be assured of?
01:39We are dealing to a large extent now in hypotheticals.
01:44Yeah.
01:45Terminom money can not be more than $0.13 Isso.
01:48We are dealing to a large extent in reactors in Corporate.
01:48With uneгор simplesmente with an産um.
