Consultation Team

The Brisbane 2032 Stadium proposal aims to create an iconic, state-of-the-art venue that will not only host the Olympic and Paralympic Games but also serve as a year-round hub for sports, entertainment, and community events. This landmark development presents a unique opportunity to enhance our city’s global reputation, stimulate the local economy, and leave a long-lasting legacy for residents and visitors.

Key Goals:

  1. Sustainable Design: Employ green construction practices, renewable energy sources, and advanced water conservation techniques.
  2. Economic Growth: Generate new jobs, boost local tourism, and support community businesses throughout the construction process and beyond.
  3. Community Engagement: Encourage open dialogue, seek public feedback, and ensure the stadium’s design and operation meet the diverse needs of local residents.
  4. Legacy Benefits: Provide upgraded infrastructure, expanded transport networks, and accessible community spaces that remain relevant long after the 2032 Games.

We’re committed to a transparent and collaborative planning process—your voice is vital to shaping the future of our city.

The Games Independent Infrastructure and Coordination Authority has responsibility for delivering new and upgraded venues for use before, during and after the Games. This is not just about four weeks of sport. It’s about delivering a legacy for all Queenslanders for generations to come.

The Games Authority are currently undertaking a 100 Day Review into Games infrastructure and planning, with the findings to be handed down in March 2025.

Concept Summary Imagine a “Green Sports Precinct” that harmonizes a state-of-the-art stadium with the charm of Victoria Park Golf Course. Instead of completely replacing the greens, the stadium is strategically positioned to preserve significant portions of the course, offering both local residents and tourists a mixed-use recreational area. Key features include repurposed fairways, multi-level walkways, and innovative architecture that enhances both sporting and community experiences. Key Features Partial Reconfiguration of the Golf Course Retain 9 of the most scenic holes, redesigned to accommodate slight shifts in terrain around the stadium footprint. Convert other sections into public green spaces, walking paths, or mini-golf areas to broaden recreational appeal. Elevated Stadium Design Raise the stadium’s main concourse above ground level, creating a seamless walkway beneath for park access. Preserve greenspace and mature trees directly below and around the stadium, minimizing environmental impact. Multi-Use Community Facilities Incorporate an outdoor amphitheater, picnic spaces, and children’s play areas within the preserved greens. Offer an on-site Golf Learning Center where new players can practice, ensuring the sport remains central to the site’s identity. Sustainability & Eco-Friendly Tech Employ solar panel roofing, rainwater harvesting, and efficient waste management to reduce the stadium’s environmental footprint. Use permeable surfaces and carefully engineered landscaping to preserve natural drainage patterns of the park. Year-Round Engagement In the off-season, stadium concourses and adjacent lawns can host food festivals, farmers’ markets, or outdoor movie nights. This maintains a steady flow of visitors, promoting local businesses and encouraging community engagement beyond major sporting events. By creatively blending modern infrastructure with the natural landscape, the Green Sports Precinct can become an iconic destination that celebrates Brisbane’s Olympic legacy while maintaining the cherished atmosphere of Victoria Park Golf Course.

Answered by Paul Harvey on September 14, 2025

Dear Pablo Montoya,

Thank you for reaching out with your concern regarding the Brisbane Arena. The decision not to proceed with the Brisbane Arena was made after careful consideration of various factors, including budget constraints, project feasibility, and the evolving needs of the community. While the arena was initially a part of the proposal, the focus has shifted to ensuring that the overall development plan for the 2032 Games is sustainable, economically viable, and beneficial for the broader community.

We understand that this may be disappointing news, especially for those who were looking forward to the arena. However, the commitment remains to deliver a world-class venue and infrastructure that will serve Queenslanders well into the future. We are dedicated to maintaining open dialogue and ensuring that all projects align with the goals of enhancing our city’s global reputation and providing lasting benefits.

Your feedback is important, and we encourage you to participate in upcoming community engagement sessions to share your thoughts and ideas.

Best regards,

Answered by Paul Harvey on March 4, 2025

Residents and visitors can expect coordinated improvements to both public transport networks and surrounding roads. The project team is partnering with local transportation authorities and government agencies to develop an integrated plan that addresses increased traffic demands.

Which specific neighborhoods might be affected by the construction, and what measures are being taken to minimize disruption for residents?

Which specific neighborhoods might be affected by the construction, and what measures are being taken to minimize disruption for residents?

Answered by Paul Harvey on March 4, 2025

Local councils and planners are currently assessing potential construction sites, traffic flow, and community impacts. While the exact neighborhoods will depend on the final stadium location and associated infrastructure upgrades, residents in adjacent areas may experience increased traffic, noise, or temporary road closures. To minimize disruption, the project team is coordinating with local authorities to set clear construction schedules, provide advance notice of any detours, and maintain open lines of communication with residents. Temporary noise barriers, strict adherence to working-hour regulations, and designated trucking routes will also be implemented to reduce the impact on affected neighborhoods.

Answered by Paul Harvey on March 13, 2025

Dear Aron Asplin,

Thank you for reaching out with your question regarding the funding of the Brisbane 2032 Stadium proposal. The stadium is being funded through a combination of public and private investment. While the goal is to minimize the financial impact on local taxpayers, it's important to note that large-scale projects can sometimes encounter unforeseen costs. Measures are being put in place to manage and mitigate such risks, including thorough planning and budgeting processes. The Games Independent Infrastructure and Coordination Authority is committed to transparency and will keep the public informed about the project's financial status and any developments related to funding.

We appreciate your interest and involvement in this significant project for our community.

Best regards,

I’ve lived near Victoria Park Golf Course for most of my life. Some of my earliest memories involve walking the greens with my family, watching my grandfather practice his gentle swing and taking in the surrounding greenery. Over the years, this golf course has become more than just a place to play a sport—it’s been a gathering spot for local friends, a serene escape in the heart of our city, and a reminder of Brisbane’s unique combination of urban vibrancy and natural beauty. As excitement builds for the 2032 Olympics and the proposed stadium plans, I feel both pride and concern. A world-class stadium has the potential to put Brisbane on the global map, yet I also want to see the golf course’s character preserved. Victoria Park has become a central part of our community’s lifestyle—social events, junior golf programs, and daily exercise all rely on this green space. I believe it’s possible to balance these interests. Perhaps a stadium design could integrate the existing golf course layout, preserving significant portions of the fairways while modernizing others for shared use. Pathways could wind through landscaped areas, and new recreational amenities—like driving ranges or mini-golf features—could draw in both locals and visitors year-round. By respecting the natural contours and habitats of the course, we’d maintain the green setting that’s so beloved by residents. I’m hopeful that by combining the vision of a new stadium with the existing heritage of the golf course, we can create a unique destination that serves both sporting excellence and community well-being. With open dialogue and careful planning, Victoria Park can remain a treasured place for families like mine while contributing to the bright future of Brisbane’s Olympic legacy.
