With 95 days left of the independent 100-day Olympic venue review, a new discussion paper on a Victoria Park sports precinct is about to land in their inbox.
Proponents of a new sporting hub at Victoria Park have prepared a discussion paper for the new 100-day Olympic venue review, in the hope of getting the controversial proposal off the ground.
“We wanted to create something that could feed into the review, that could also be a public document that puts some reasons as to why it should be Vic Park,” he said. The other options that have been canvassed are a return to the Gabba, QSAC, Hamilton and the original Games proposal of Albion.Allan said site constraints meant the Gabba could not be built big enough for Brisbane’s future needs and, of the remaining sites, Victoria Park had the most potential for public transport links.“You’ve got the fastest, best rail network we’ll have seen with Cross River Rail opening and Brisbane Metro on the other side.
Then-premier Steven Miles dismissed Quirk’s Victoria Park finding within hours of its release, saying he “did not expect to get a recommendation that was nearly a billion dollars more” than the planned $2.7 billion Gabba rebuild. “Things have changed a little bit upwards – obviously not downwards, which is never going to happen in the world,” he said.Another plus for the Archipelago vision, Allan said, was the inclusion of a permanent aquatic centre.
