About Hobart:
With billions of dollars-worth of current and pipeline infrastructure projects over the next decade in Tasmania, Hobart presents a great location to invest. Other high value projects committed too includes the Macquarie Point approx. $1b multi-purpose roofed stadium likely to be the highest value Tasmanian infrastructure project in history to date.
The Hobart International airport terminal (currently seeing around 1.8m passengers per annum and this is forecast to almost double into the near future) will also double in size and will feature a $130m runway upgrade allowing for international flights of larger aircraft including the 787 Dreamliner and Airbus A350. Hobart certainly remains a solid city to be investing in.
Tasmania is known for its pro-environmental stance, and in 2020 achieved 100% renewable energy status thanks to a combination of hydroelectricity, wind, and solar energy sources.
