Tenders released for Launceston Silverdome redevelopment

The redevelopment of the Launceston Silverdome is progressing with the release of request for tenders. The Tasmanian Government has advertised for a Lead Architect, Design Team tender and a Project Manager for the redevelopment.

The Silverdome is a multi-purpose indoor sport and events venue in Launceston, Tasmania. The venue has a spectator capacity of up to 4,000 and is located within Kate Reid Reserve, approximately 10 minutes to the south of the Launceston CBD.

Tasmanian Minister for Sports and Events, Nick Duigan, said the project was moving ahead following the Government’s increased investment of $12 million.

Minister Duigan enthused “It is great to see things progressing on this important redevelopment that will take the Silverdome to the next level.

“The upgrades will enable the Silverdome to deliver an even greater fan experience and host more cultural, community, and live entertainment events.

“These upgrades mean more seating, better accessibility, new replay screens, a new floor system, better food and beverage options, and better elite and community changerooms.

“An even better Silverdome secures JackJumpers games in the North into the future and will drive growth in Northern Tasmania, through more jobs in construction, more cultural and corporate events.

“As part of our 2030 Strong Plan for Tasmania’s Future, the Tasmanian Government is committing record investment in infrastructure across the State, including significant funding for the building and improvement of new and existing sporting facilities, for both community and elite sporting groups.”

Stadiums Tasmania Chief Executive James Avery added “this development will make a significant difference to the northern Tasmanian sports and events community.

“It will result in securing the future of existing sporting and entertainment events that have become a mainstay on the Launceston calendar and gives Stadiums Tasmania the ability to seek new and exciting opportunities.”

Tenders are accessible via the tenders.tas.gov.au website and proponents are encouraged to review the documentation and submit a formal response in order to be involved in next steps in the process.
