This concept has been discussed by fans for ages, but finally a site has been mentioned and governments are discussing it. Good enough for a thread, I say!
The stadium is being proposed by FC Tasmania - the A-League bid team lead by Robert Belteky and Harry Stamoulis.

A Tasmanian A-League team could play its home games in a purpose-built stadium at Hobart's Cornelian Bay, a study has found.
The ABC understands the pre-feasibility study explored the viability of a new 15,000-capacity stadium to house "FC Tasmania" in the national league.
Originally, a site on the Hobart Domain was seen as the preferred location, but the report identified Cornelian Bay as the frontrunner.

Re: Hobart Rectangular Stadium
I thought the proposed Tasmanian A-League expansion team was to play at North Hobart Oval?
