In short

Images of how the proposed Hobart AFL stadium could impact the view to and from the Cenotaph have been released.

The RSL says the new images don't ease its concerns and it warns the stadium will "destroy sightlines".

What's next?

The stadium still needs to be assessed by the state's planning commission under the project of state significance framework and be voted on in parliament.

RSL Tasmania says its concerns about a new AFL stadium on Hobart's waterfront have not been eased by new images showing how the structure will impact the view from the Cenotaph.

The images, requested by the RSL, were released by the Macquarie Point Development Corporation on Thursday.

RSL chief executive John Hardy said he commended the "openness" of releasing the images, but that they did not alleviate the organisation's concerns about how the stadium would impact on sightlines to and from the Cenotaph.

"We can do things like put it behind trees, soften images, put it from different angles — the reality for us is still the same," Mr Hardy said.

"It will be 54 metres high, and it will destroy sightlines."

A Macquarie Point Development Corporation spokesperson said the renders were provided to the RSL as requested.

"[RSL Tasmania] has subsequently asked for additional images that will also be provided," the spokesperson said.

Mr Hardy said the RSL had also requested images from the base of the cenotaph, which had not been supplied.

"The sightlines are being destroyed, if people accept that, so be it, but we will just ask that we get renders from the sightlines," he said.

"If you affect its sightlines, you affect the essence of the Cenotaph."

RSL 'appreciates' minister's engagement over the issue 

Mr Hardy said Tasmania's Veterans' Affairs Minister, Guy Barnett, had "done a lot of work" over the past two weeks to ensure the RSL was informed about the proposed stadium's progress.

"So maybe there is a mood swing, which we appreciate," he said.

The stadium is 54 metres above sea level at its highest point, significantly taller than the original maximum height of up to 40 metres.

But the state government insists the sloping nature of the roof means it will not dwarf neighbouring infrastructure, including the Cenotaph.

The Macquarie Point Development Corporation also insists the stadium, located to the south-east of the Cenotaph, will not cast a shadow over the cenotaph at sunrise or sunset.

It said the "low profile" of the design would minimise the shadows cast both inside and outside of the stadium.

Government 'totally committed' to working with RSL

"It does have an impact on the Cenotaph, there's no doubt about that," Mr Barnett, said.

"I first saw those renders on Friday in the same meeting with RSL Tasmania, I've discussed that with RSL Tasmania."

Despite the RSL's concerns, Mr Barnett said he maintained a "strong and supportive" relationship with the organisation.

"We accept their passion and commitment to the veteran community. I don't doubt that in any way," he said.

"That's why I'm totally committed to ongoing engagement with the veteran community on the design of the stadium and the multipurpose precinct."

Greens MP Vica Bayley said the new renders confirmed the stadium "obliterates" sightlines to and from the Cenotaph that are considered in the planning scheme for the area.

The stadium will be assessed as a project of state significance, but Mr Bayley said the process bypassed the planning scheme.

"It leaves the decision completely at the hands of an assessment panel, and then the parliament," Mr Bayley said.

Mr Bayley said the Greens planned to introduce legislation that would override the project of state significance process and enshrine protections for the Cenotaph's sightlines in law.

The parliament will have a final vote once that project of state significance process is completed.
