Brisbane to build main stadium on parkland for 2032 Summer Games
A new 60,000-seat stadium and a national aquatics center will be built in an inner city Brisbane park for the 2032 Olympics, Queensland State Premier David Crisafulli announced on Tuesday (March 25) as he unveiled the third venue plan for the Games.
Crisafulli said another 20,000-seat boutique stadium would be constructed at Brisbane Showgrounds, while some events have been moved out of the city to regional Queensland. Crisafulli is likely to come under fire for the stadium plan as he went on the record opposing the construction of a new arena in the city, in the run-up to the state elections that brought him to power last November.

00:00Finally, Queensland has a plan.
00:22The time has come to just get on with it.
00:27Get on with it, we will.
00:30We can get on with it because the plan is built upon hard work.
00:35The consequence is no sporting legacy is delivered, and that means nothing for our swimmers for
00:40tomorrow.
00:41No return for our investment for one of the iconic sports of our state.
00:47Instead, we are excited to announce we will build a new National Aquatic Centre with a
00:53games capacity of 25,000 people.
00:58The centre will see a number of Olympic and Paralympic sports move their headquarters
01:02up to Brisbane permanently.
01:05A real world-class legacy which will serve these sports for decades to come.
01:10I can also announce Melbourne will not be taking the tennis from Brisbane.
01:21Not on our watch.
01:23A major upgrade of the Queensland Tennis Centre will include a new 3,000-seat show court arena
01:28and 12 new match courts which, in addition to the Pat Rafter Arena, will bring even more
01:33tournaments to Brisbane.
01:36It became a choice between delivering a Games with an eye to the future or rewinding the
01:42clock for decades.
01:45In the end, the choice was clear.
01:47The Games must be held at a new stadium at Victoria Park.
