2032 Olympics: Brisbane to build a new 63,000 -seater stadium for games
The cricket, which will be held in Los Angeles in 2028, could be played in Gabba in 2032 before the arena is demolished.
“It would not be incredible to see the Australian cricket team win gold in an Olympic final? Gabba’s swansong,” Crisafulli said.
“Gabba is at the end of life. It has not been well maintained and we need a stadium to host this great show, and there is an opportunity for the Legacy game.”
A new 25,000 seater national aquatic center will be built in Spring Hill near the main stadium, while a new 20,000 seater arena is planned near the main village of athletes.
Rowing will be held in the Queensland Fitzroy River, which is known to host salted water crocodiles, but the government says that the waters are safe.
“If it’s good enough for Central Queensland children, I think it’s good enough for Pierre di Paris,” Crisafulli said.
Football will be held in Cairns in the far north-east of Australia, while the Brisbane Queensland Tennis Center will receive significant updates to host tennis events.
