The Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games has been a political football, awarded back in 2021, three main stadium locations have already been considered and dismissed.
The conversation has primarily focused around a ‘cost’ only equation and not the long term ‘value’ to both the city and state, including the legacy that would endure for many generations to come.
A stadium and/or multiple venues at Victoria Park would be the catalyst that allows Australian Football League, cricket and major international events, including the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, to further propel Brisbane onto the global stage, where this rapidly changing city belongs. The opportunity to leverage the existing investment in mass transit infrastructure also provides a sustainable base to build upon.
In anticipation of the 100-day Venue Review that the recently elected government has tasked the new Independent Infrastructure Coordination Authority to undertake, Arcadis has taken this opportunity to articulate the benefits for a new sports and entertainment precinct for South East Queensland (SEQ) to be developed at Victoria Park.
