The State Government has announced its preferred site for the $80 million Brighton Transport Hub.

Last year the government announced it would fund a road-rail facility and freight distribution hub at Brighton to improve the efficiency of freight movement in and out of southern Tasmania.
The Infrastructure Department has been examining two locations for the hub.
The Minister Graeme Struges says the preferred site is an area of about 50 hectares to the west of the exisiting industrial estate.
Mr Sturges said the eastern site had aboriginal heritage issues which could not be easily overcome.
Construction is expected to begin in the first half of next year.
