Macquarie Point Northern Access Road
We are leading the planning and design for the Northern Access Road, a key infrastructure corridor supporting future transport connectivity to the Macquarie Point Development Precinct.
About the project
The Northern Access Road will provide an alternative route for heavy vehicles to access the Port of Hobart and will support developments in the Macquarie Point Precinct and Regatta Point foreshore area.
The new road will link the Tasman Highway with the Macquarie Point Precinct and includes an event bus plaza that will service the proposed Multipurpose Stadium.
A northern entry into the Port of Hobart will ease the pressure on the surrounding road network, enhance connectivity and provide more opportunity for land use and investment within Macquarie Point.
Timing
Construction is expected to start in 2026.
Upcoming activities
Site investigations to inform the concept designs will start in October. Once concept designs are developed, they will be shared with key stakeholders and the broader community.
