Victoria Park Stadium Progress
The Victoria Park project forms the centrepiece of preparations for the 2032 Games. Site work is under way on the 63,000-seat stadium, which will host athletics and other major events during the Olympics.
Logan Indoor Centre Development
South of Brisbane, demolition is under way at the Logan PCYC site. The replacement facility will provide 7,000 seats and nine indoor courts dedicated to Olympic and community use.
Suburban Facility Upgrades
Brisbane City Council has announced upgrades at four suburban sports facilities. These include North Star Football Club in Zillmere, Oxenham Park in Nundah, Waterloo Bay Leisure Centre in Wynnum and Runcorn Pool. The works will improve local training and competition options ahead of the Games.
