I've seen conflicting reports on which stadiums from these cities are being used. The Brisbane 2032 interstate football venues are Melbourne Rectangular Stadium and Sydney Football Stadium for some football preliminaries and quarterfinals. Stadium Australia or the MCG have not appeared as venues in any of the IOC Official Documents - Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games. It’s always been Sydney Football Stadium and Melbourne Rectangular Stadium. The 100-Day Review is currently looking at all Brisbane 2032 venues, but at this point in time, these are the two official IOC interstate venues for football.

Tejas57 Posted January 23 Report Posted January 23 from here; Former Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk says Brisbane 2032 Olympic stadium already 'decided' Former Queensland premier Annastacia Palaszczuk says the Olympic review committee has "already decided" to build a new stadium at Victoria Park for the Brisbane 2032 Games. The LNP government is awaiting the findings of a 100-day review into key venues and infrastructure amid bitter debate over whether to demolish and upgrade the Gabba, build a new stadium at Victoria Park or revamp the Queensland Sports and Athletics Centre (QSAC) at Nathan. In an interview on Channel 9's Today Show, Ms Palaszczuk said the Victoria Park proposal was "absolutely a ridiculous idea". "I've been told the committee has actually already decided it's going to be Victoria Park," Ms Palaszczuk said. "There is no access to public transport there. "It's going to cost a lot more — more billions and billons of dollars that Queenslanders don't have at the moment because of the cost-of-living pressures."

(Supplied: Archipelago) The ABC understands the revamped design of the Victoria Park stadium will cost $14.2 billion under a public-private partnership and will include the southern hemisphere’s largest sport centre of excellence. The ABC also understands there will be no net loss of green space. 'Huge fight' over stadiums Ms Palaszczuk said she was "pretty annoyed" and "quite sad" that the Games had become a "political football" seven-and-a-half years out from the opening ceremony. "It's become this huge fight over stadiums, for goodness sake," Ms Palaszczuk said. "I'm absolutely shocked at the state of it. "There was a plan, the plan was submitted to the IOC [International Olympic Committee], the IOC ticked off the plan and now you have nearly every single mayor and the new government reviewing [the plan]. "If I was at the IOC at the moment, I would be saying, 'What is going on Brisbane?'" The former premier, who announced her retirement from politics in December 2023 after nine years in office, had proposed demolishing and rebuilding the Gabba stadium ahead of the Games at a cost of $1 billion. In 2021 then-premier Annastacia Palaszczuk announced the Gabba would be rebuilt for the 2032 Games. (Supplied: Queensland Government) A detailed review later found it would cost at least $2.7 billion. "When I left, we had a plan — we were sticking to the plan. The tenders would've been out now for the Gabba," Ms Palaszczuk said. "You got the metro there; the underground railway station being built there … and we want to have a legacy for our city — the Gabba was the place." Second review The Gabba proposal was swiftly rejected by her successor Steven Miles, who announced his government would instead spend $1.6 billion to renovate the Queensland Sports and Athletics Centre. Former premier Steven Miles committed to revamping the Queensland Sports and Athletics Centre at Nathan. (ABC News: Dean Caton) Mr Miles also ordered a 60-day review of key sporting venues headed by former lord mayor Graham Quirk. Mr Quirk's review recommended replacing the Gabba rebuild plan with a new "greenfield" stadium at Victoria Park, at a cost of up to $3.4 billion. Former Brisbane lord mayor Graham Quirk headed a 60-day review into infrastructure for the Brisbane Olympics. (ABC News: Chris Gillette) The LNP did not support the QSAC option and pledged to appoint an independent seven-member Olympics Coordination Authority to conduct a 100-day review if it won last year's election. Premier launches Olympic venue review Photo shows A politician in a suit and tie talking with hand gestures. Queensland's premier doesn't believe Brisbane "needs another stadium," announcing a 100-day review into infrastructure to be used for Brisbane 2032. The review, which began in November, is chaired by property industry veteran Stephen Conry and includes the Property Council of Australia's Jess Caire and sporting and events leader Tony Cochrane. Its scope covers "new, upgraded and temporary venues", Olympic and Paralympic villages, transport infrastructure and Games governance. There are several guiding principles outlined, including that the review will "maximise the use of existing venues" to "minimise new construction". Premier David Crisafulli has previously spoken about "no new stadiums" but the terms of reference do not explicitly rule it out. 'Time is running out' Rose O'Hagan from the Save Victoria Park Advocacy Group said Ms Palaszczuk's comments about Victoria Park were "disconcerting". "Putting Victoria Park on the radar to start with was very strange because it was a typical example of someone coming up with a recommendation but not undertaking analysis and impact assessments before they did it," Ms O'Hagan said. "We have given a very comprehensive submission to the review board, so they understand the impacts which are significant across that whole space. "In saying that, we have to put our faith with the 100-day review panel is going to be doing their job and actually understanding the impacts. "We also have to make sure that we hold our premier and deputy premier to their word when they have given us their election promise that there will be no stadium at Victoria Park." Vivienne Clifton-Jones, Sue Bremmer and Rose O'Hagan have been fighting against an Olympic stadium at Victoria Park. (Supplied) Ms Palaszczuk said the "fighting" over Olympic Games infrastructure needs to end because "time is running out". "Everyone's got to sit around the table, and this has got to be sorted out," Ms Palaszczuk said. "A lot of people might not have liked my plan, but people know that when I stood for something I stood by it, I backed it in, I stared others down and I got on with the job. "At the moment, I'm not seeing that at all." The review committee is due to report back on March 8. Quote

Equestrian is another sport wanting to ride the Games funding horse to pay for a “legacy” HQ. I’m sure there’s been other sports too who want the Games to pay for their “legacy” headquarters. But where’s the money? Not a single mention in this article on who should pay for this. Let Swimming Australia go to Gina Rhinehart or another private supporter pay for a national aquatics HQ. The Brisbane Games just needs a swimming venue, that’s it. Let these sports wanting a Games-paid headquarters to go away do that in their own time, or come up with a viable funding plan. Quote
yoshi Posted January 23 Report Posted January 23 With the caveat as always that it's not our money, & I don't know Brisbane, I support the idea of a new stadium at Victoria Park. Having said that, I am very intrigued by the idea that there won't be any loss of green space in the park. How do you build an Olympic Stadium in the middle of a park, not extend the park, & not lose any green space?! Quote
Rob2012 Posted January 23 Report Posted January 23 Apparently much of the area being proposed is a disused cark park or something. Still seems like an extraordinary claim (looking on Google Maps I can't see any non-green spaces big enough) and given it's in the same paragraph as that pricetag I'm not inclined to believe it without another source to back it up.

Brekkie Boy Posted March 10 Report Posted March 10 Thanks - reading around a bit seems a new one now the most likely option but not without controversy.

AustralianFan Posted April 9 Report Posted April 9 Queensland State Netball Centre NISSAN ARENA officially a Games Competition Venue Is Netball now odds-on to be included at the 2032 Olympics? Nissan Arena at Nathan and home of the Queensland Firebirds Netball Team is now been officially announced as a Games competition venue for ”indoor sports“ by the Queensland Government. Nissan Arena venue has never been a Games competition venue up until now. Q. So what “indoor sport” is slated for Nissan Arena? A. I think its odds on that in 2026 when the Brisbane 2032 Final Sports Programme is announced, that Netball will be announced as an additional sport. The clues: World Netball and Netball Australia has recently met with the Brisbane .2032 Organising Comittee to present their case for inclusion in the final Games Sports Program, along with multiple other sports. Some might say that the Nissan Arena tcould be adapted as a venue for basketball preliminaries? Well, yes, but no need for this additional basketball venue sunce the Queensland Government also announced that in 2032 basketball will be now played at the new Gold Coast Arena, Cairns Convention Centre, the new ‘Horizon’ Sunshine Coast Arena and finals at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre. That leaves a pointer to a fast format Netball being played at the Olympic Games for the first time. Yes, Netball must include competitions at the Olympics for both women and men. However, this is already happening with both competing in the Netball Fast5 World Series. For the Paralympics, this venue would also be suitbale for a number of indoor Paralympic sports. Quote
AustralianFan Posted April 9 Report Posted April 9 13 hours ago, Gonzo said: Netball will probably replace Flag Football RNA Showgrounds Upgrade 20,000 - but for which sport? Yes, speaking of Flag Football, it will be interesting if it continues on to Brisbane 2032. While the sport’s popularity is still on the rise in Australia, it’s worldwide popularity is already huge with 20 million players. The RNA Showgrounds has just been earmarked for an Olympic event in the Queensland Government’s recent announcements of temporary upgrades there to create a 20,000 capacity arena, as pictured below. But for which sport? Could it be for Flag Football or even Lacrosse, both of which are making their Oympic debuts at LA 2028. Or even Softball / Baseball who returning to the Olympics in 2028? Maybe even for Cricket preliminaries, but I would have thought they’d use the Gabba and Carrara for that ? Quote
