Too big, too dear: what the Tassie stadium report says

WHAT THE REPORT INTO THE MACQUARIE POINT STADIUM SAYS:

* The project should not proceed

* The "disproportionately large, monolithic" stadium is too big for the site and any benefits are significantly outweighed by the disbenefits it creates

* Proceeding with the project will give rise to irrevocable and unacceptable adverse impacts on Hobart's spatial and landscape character, urban form and historic cultural heritage

ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL EFFECTS

* Costs to build stadium have risen from $715 million to $1.13 billion

* The panel's cost-benefit analysis shows the stadium's economic and social benefits are small compared to its public cost

* There is a significant risk construction costs will be higher than estimated, which as it stands, costs $5900 for every household not on government
