UTAS Stadium Redevelopment

The Tasmanian Government is improving the University of Tasmania (UTAS) Stadium in Launceston, an iconic precinct that has been hosting great sporting events since 1921.

The Australian and Tasmanian governments have each committed $65 million to the redevelopment and upgrade of this important community infrastructure.

The project has recently achieved a number of key milestones, including early practical completion of the Matchday Facility Upgrades ahead of the first game scheduled 2025 AFL season game played at UTAS Stadium, successfully developing and releasing the Main Works Construction Request for Tender package to market, lodgement of the Main Works Development Application and the release of the Ribbon Board Upgrades Request for Tender.

Stadiums Tasmania, established in 2023 to oversee the management and operations of major public stadiums and related assets in Tasmania, is currently completing the transfer of ownership of UTAS Stadium from the City of Launceston. As the future owner/operator of the venue, Stadiums Tasmania has been working with the Tasmanian Government and the Department of State Growth on the most appropriate delivery framework for the project.

In March 2025, the Tasmanian Government determined that the responsibility for delivery and management of the $130 million redevelopment will transfer to Stadiums Tasmania.
