Overview
- Preparatory works will start on June 1 when Victoria Park’s land transfers to the Games Independent Infrastructure and Coordination Authority, and officials have placed the venue in a central zone near Gilchrist Avenue.
- Government images show a multi-tier bowl with a halo video board and open ends to draw breezes, with an MCG-sized field set on an east–west axis.
- The government estimates the project at about $3.6–$3.8 billion as part of a $7.1 billion plan for Brisbane 2032 venues.
- The stadium will stage athletics and the opening and closing ceremonies in 2032 before becoming Brisbane’s main AFL and cricket ground as the Gabba is demolished.
- Multiple Indigenous heritage applications seek to halt work at Barrambin/Victoria Park, with one already rejected by the Commonwealth and an independent mediator appointed to advise on the remaining claims.
