TASMANIA, Australia — The release of the first official concept designs of the proposed Macquarie Point stadium predictably ignited the conversation around the project, spurning a swag of differing opinions and questions from the Tasmanian public. …Most people have questions, and they range from roof shadows to the heavy use of timber. …The type of timber being proposed is an engineered wood product called glulam. However, the particular local species is yet to be decided. “So we’re not just using things like radiata pine, we actually want to use eucalypt,” Mr Richardson said. We’ve done some work with that. There’s more to do and we’re looking into supply chain issues. “We’re wanting to invest in Tasmania, so all the components are built here rather than the timber being brought over to the mainland and brought back.”
