Overview
- The Queensland government is set to finalize its Olympic venue plans, with an announcement expected Tuesday following cabinet discussions on Monday.
- A new 60,000-seat stadium at Victoria Park is the leading proposal to replace the abandoned Gabba redevelopment as the main Olympic venue.
- The proposed $2.5 billion Brisbane Arena, originally planned for swimming events, is likely to be scrapped, with funds potentially redirected to other projects.
- The 100-day review of Olympic venues, a key election promise, will be publicly released next week and is expected to shape final decisions.
- Renegotiation of federal-state funding agreements will be necessary to address the anticipated costs of the Victoria Park stadium construction.
