Visualisations released by the Tasmanian government for the proposed stadium at Macquarie Point are unlikely to be enough, alone, to convince the state's RSL to give the project their blessing, according to its chief executive. Key points: New visualisations of the proposed Macquarie Point stadium show that it could reach a height of 40 metres at its tallest point The official stadium design process has not yet begun Tasmania's RSL — which is opposing the stadium's proposed location, due to concerns over the impact on the Cenotaph — says it wants to be heard and "have an impact" on the final outcome The images of the proposed 23,000-seat stadium — released on the State Growth website — have been produced to provide more information about the potential impact on views to and from the Hobart Cenotaph.
