Why isn't the Brisbane Arena going ahead anymore? That going top be to be so good
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,
Paul Harvey
