Exciting times are ahead for Hobart as the Macquarie Point Multipurpose Stadium moves closer to becoming a reality, and Perfectly Paired is proud to play a key role in bringing this major project to life. In partnership with Cox Architecture, we are contributing our hospitality consultancy expertise to help shape a venue that promises to be much more than just a stadium—it will be a community hub and a hallmark of Tasmanian culture.
Innovative Design for an Unmistakably Tasmanian Venue
Designed by Cox Architecture in collaboration with local practice Cumulus Studio, the Macquarie Point Multipurpose Stadium is set to redefine the standard for fan experiences in Tasmania. The stadium’s innovative design will feature a stunning combination of timber and steel, topped with a fixed ETFE translucent roof, offering a modern take on the state’s maritime and industrial heritage.
As COX Director Stuart Harper describes, “The fully roofed stadium design showcases Tasmanian timber technology, delivers something special for each user and integrates hospitality with heart: all contributing to a presence and fan experience that will be unmistakably Tasmanian.”
Perfectly Paired’s Role: Enhancing the Hospitality Experience
At Perfectly Paired, we are consulting on all catering-related activities, from early-stage design to the detailed procurement strategies that will ensure every visitor enjoys a seamless experience. Our work includes creating user briefs, developing the scope for food and beverage offerings, and reviewing design drawings to integrate world-class hospitality features.
Key Highlights of the Stadium
A 1,500-person function room with views to Kunanyi/Mount Wellington
A design informed by modelling cricket ball trajectory data to ensure it's ready to host the best quality cricket games
A stage pocket in the northern stand to support concerts and events, minimising impact on the field and reducing costs for event operators
Easy-to-follow and accessible design features—including a single continuous concourse that services the whole stadium, enabling fans to enter any gate and easily find their seat
A seating bowl design that will bring crowds closer to the action
Below-ground service roads that separate vehicles from stadium users, ensuring smooth operations for back-of-house and catering teams
A Venue for Sport, Culture and Community
This multipurpose venue will be equipped to host not only sporting events but also a variety of cultural and community gatherings. Perfectly Paired’s involvement ensures that its hospitality offerings will be as diverse and dynamic as the stadium’s future events, making the venue a year-round destination for both locals and visitors.
