Constructure Joint Venture, a group including a subsidiary of China's state-owned construction giant, and BESIX Watpac have been shortlisted for the contract to build Hobart's proposed $1.13 billion waterfront stadium. The Tasmanian government aims to award the construction contract by the end of 2026, with completion targeted for 2030. BESIX Watpac is also a finalist for Brisbane's proposed stadium.
Constructure Joint Venture and BESIX Watpac have been selected to take part in the tender process for the $1.13 billion Macquarie Point Stadium .The race for the contract to build Hobart 's proposed waterfront stadium is down to two, after an expression of interest phase.
One bid is from a joint venture, which includes a subsidiary company of the Chinese government's China State Construction Engineering Corporation.The Tasmanian government hopes to award a contract to build the stadium by the end of 2026.
A subsidiary of China's state-owned construction mega-company has been selected as one of two firms to tender for the right to build Hobart's new waterfront stadium. Constructure Joint Venture and BESIX Watpac have been selected to take part in the tender process for the $1.13 billion Macquarie Point Stadium, after success in the expression of interest phase.
One partner in Constructure Joint Venture is China Construction Oceania, the Australian-based subsidiary of the Chinese government-owned China State Construction Engineering Corporation. Constructure Joint Venture also includes Italian firm Webuild S.p.A, and McConnell Dowell, who built Hobart's Bridgewater Bridge. The China State Construction Engineering Corporation has '38 second-tier subsidiaries, 8 listed companies, and more than 360,000 employees', according to its website.
The ABC revealed earlier this week that BESIX Watpac was one of two firms set to proceed to the request for tender stage. BESIX Watpac was also selected by the Queensland government this week to be one of two final tenderers for the proposed Brisbane Stadium.
The Australian-based firm was involved in the construction of the recently completed $600 million stadium in Christchurch, New Zealand.The stadium is expected to be completed by the end of 2030.
Tender process to test approach, capability and local involvement Minister for Macquarie Point Urban Renewal Eric Abetz called the selection of two tenderers 'another important step forward for the Macquarie Point Multipurpose Stadium'. 'We have seen strong interest from major contractors capable of delivering a project of this scale and complexity,' Mr Abetz said. Earlier this week, Macquarie Point Development Corporation chief executive Anne Beach declined to reveal how many companies had expressed interest in the build, but told reporters that multiple companies had.
The first stage of the tender process will see the government seek 'covering delivery approach, capability, commercial settings, program and local industry participation'. Mr Abetz indicated he was keen on pursuing opportunities for local businesses and workers in the build.
A master plan for the precinct surrounding the future AFL stadium in Hobart has been unveiled, while the ABC understands the company behind New Zealand's premier stadium in Christchurch is among those competing to build it. 'We are delivering for Tasmania by turning a wasteland into a year-round events and function precinct that will provide benefits for all Tasmanians,' he said. Earlier this week, the master plan for the Macquarie Point Site was unveiled, detailing planned commercial zones to the south of the stadium, and a residential area to the north.
The stadium, which is a requirement of the deal for the Tasmania Devils Football Team, has received a $240 million contribution from the federal government, and a further $15 million from the AFL. It was approved by the parliament in December last year, after the Tasmanian Planning Commission recommended it not be built.
