He is certainly a footballer.

That’s sure you get some noses out of joint, funny though and lucky man

I’m pretty sure there are some good looking colts and fillies to come from that stock

Interesting offspring? I have a sneaky suspicion they hope to have their mothers looks

Tassie Stadium is going ahead, but likely to cost more...

Review finds Hobart stadium costs to 'exceed $1 billion'

A leading independent economist tasked with reviewing Tasmania's proposal to build an AFL stadium on Hobart's waterfront finds the project is "already displaying the hallmarks of mismanagement" and is likely to exceed $1 billion.

But when did a major government project run on budget?

It's going to be a fascinating project too, the wooden roof is pretty cool

Over the last 20 years what we have seen is that all stadium new builds or upgrades run way over budget

The increase isn’t just between initial concept and detail design, but also after contract execution.

I expect the actual cost to deliver will exceed contract price to deliver

Put the lowest bid in knowing you can pad the outlay is as old as the Pyramids

I reckon the wooden roof is a disaster waiting to happen. From the design pictures, it looks as flimsy as hell and likely to disintegrate in the first decent storm. It would be very cool then.

I'm sure the structural engineers have designed it to code.

It's not the first time it's been done.

Has anyone on here been involved in government contracts?

I have for some projects (nothing like stadiums) and they routinely included contingencies of 25+% for unforeseen costs to cover delays, price rises etc

This is rarely enough

Time is the biggest factor. What is quoted when designs are agreed upon ages out quickly and government departments quibble for years over every detail

Which other stadiums have a wooden roof?

Oregon Beavers

Oregon Beavers

I assume that is an Oregon wood joke as their stadium appears to be open?

Stadia I'm not sure TBH, building wise though there's some big timber buildings around

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Forest Green Rovers also looking to build a stadium with a wooden roof, but haven't found a completed one?

Not a stadium, but there's a building in Norway that's taller than anything in Adelaide (not hard i know) that is wooden framed.

not only an Oregon Wood joke but ALSO a Beavers joke.
They love wood... literally collect the stuff.

 

[Slime Roy]

These guys used to have one.

Scandinavians do like their wood.

Would have thought harder to maintain though?

 

[Slime Roy]

I wonder if they'll go full

Dissolving Beer Cups, Bark Chip Urinals etc.

Full engineered timber is pretty hardy, some pretty clever people out there.

I must admit I haven't done a great deal of work in large commercial buildings built with wood, but i do think it's an interesting concept.

Yeah, someone should check that, hey

OK the Japanese one is a combo of steel and timber, but I expect that's what the Tasmanian one is / will be too.
