With the city’s international reputation on the line, a 100-day review period hopes to cut through the political posturing and land on a main venue befitting of the Games
Redevelopment of the Gabba is one of the options on the table as a review panel mulls over potential stadiums for the 2032 Brisbane Olympic Games.Redevelopment of the Gabba is one of the options on the table as a review panel mulls over potential stadiums for the 2032 Brisbane Olympic Games.
No public contribution has carried more weight than that of Andrew Liveris – the president of the Brisbane 2023 Organising Committee’s board – who said last week that a stadium in the contentious location of Victoria Park with private financing “makes the most sense”.
New works to better connect the Gabba and the river past the new Cross River Rail station are also underway, and this precinct has long been viewed as central to the 2032 experience. But building a new stadium elsewhere also frees this site up for alternative development.
Despite calls from the likes of Liveris to make the most of the site in 2032 planning, politicians have so far resisted the option. Miles considered then rejected it as part of the Quirk review, believing it too costly and incompatible with the Olympics’ “new norms”, despite Quirk writing “it provides an opportunity to deliver the best outcome”.
