Overview
- The Queensland government published artist impressions and a draft Victoria Park Precinct masterplan that places the new Brisbane Olympic stadium near the park’s centre.
- The draft promises roughly two-thirds of Victoria Park will remain public green space and converts the former closed golf course into expanded wetlands, an urban forest and new park amenities.
- The plan shows large pedestrian bridges and proposed cycle and walking links to connect the precinct with the CBD, Spring Hill and the National Aquatic Centre, with some crossing designs still under investigation.
- The draft is part of a jointly funded $7.1 billion Brisbane 2032 infrastructure program and opens for public consultation until September 27, 2026.
- Several operational details remain unresolved and likely to draw opposition, including a proposed artificial lake that would flood existing cricket training grounds and the precinct’s selection after protests and arrests over the 2025 site decision.
