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,

Dear Ariana Birranis,

Thank you for reaching out with your question regarding the use of Vicky Park for the new stadium. The planning process is still ongoing, and specific details about the land use, including the portion of Vicky Park that will be utilized, are being carefully considered. Our aim is to balance development with preserving community spaces.

We are committed to keeping the public informed and involved, and I encourage you to participate in upcoming community consultations where more detailed information will be shared. Your input is invaluable in shaping the project to meet community needs.

Best regards,

The Gabba Upgrade proposal is currently under review while officials assess construction costs, potential scheduling overlaps, and environmental considerations. Further details will be shared once discussions with key stakeholders are complete and a clear plan is confirmed.

Residents are encouraged to participate through a range of ongoing opportunities, including attending public forums, joining stakeholder workshops, and submitting feedback online. Regular updates are shared via newsletters and social media, enabling the community to stay informed about key milestones and upcoming engagement sessions. Additionally, a dedicated contact point—such as an email address or project hotline—ensures queries and concerns are addressed promptly. By maintaining transparent communication channels and actively seeking local input, the project team aims to keep residents at the heart of all major decisions and refinements throughout the stadium’s development.

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. This includes adding or enhancing bus and rail services, upgrading road infrastructure, and implementing intelligent traffic management systems to ease congestion during construction and ensure efficient travel after the stadium opens.

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.

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,
