Brisbane Unveils Ambitious Olympic Venue Plans

Queensland Premier David Crisafulli announced the construction of a new Olympic stadium in Brisbane's Victoria Park for the 2032 Summer Games. A national aquatics center and another stadium at Brisbane Showgrounds will also be built, following political debates about venues since the Games' awarding in 2021.

Queensland State Premier David Crisafulli announced plans for a new Olympic stadium to be constructed in Brisbane's inner-city Victoria Park. This venue will host the ceremonies and athletics at the upcoming 2032 Summer Games.

In addition to the stadium, Crisafulli unveiled plans for a 25,000-seat national aquatics center and a 20,000-seat stadium at Brisbane Showgrounds. This comprehensive venue plan is designed to address the political debates surrounding event locations since Brisbane was awarded the Games in 2021.

Crisafulli expressed his hope that organizers could now move forward with construction and refurbishment projects. "Finally, Queensland has a plan," he stated during the announcement in Brisbane, affirming the state's commitment to the Games.
