Queensland Government Nears Decision on Key Brisbane 2032 Olympic Venues

Cabinet will review the Victoria Park stadium proposal Monday, with the Brisbane Arena project likely to be canceled due to high costs.

The Queensland government is set to finalize its Olympic venue plans, with an announcement expected Tuesday following cabinet discussions on Monday.
A new 60,000-seat stadium at Victoria Park is the leading proposal to replace the abandoned Gabba redevelopment as the main Olympic venue.
The proposed $2.5 billion Brisbane Arena, originally planned for swimming events, is likely to be scrapped, with funds potentially redirected to other projects.
The 100-day review of Olympic venues, a key election promise, will be publicly released next week and is expected to shape final decisions.
Renegotiation of federal-state funding agreements will be necessary to address the anticipated costs of the Victoria Park stadium construction.
