UTAS STADIUM (Stage 3 - Indoor Multi-sport and Entertainment Facility)

Consistent with the York Park Masterplan, this Plan has been approved by the Council and was instrumental in the State Government’s decision to create Stadiums Tasmania to assume ownership and governance of the stadium. The Council will work with the State Government to successfully create Stadiums Tasmania and will then work with the new entity to ensure that the stadium continues to act as a major social and economic driver for Launceston, the greater northern region and the state.
