bruh… hosting the Olympics at QSAC would be more embarrassing than Raygun. The government should just build the new stadium because the Gabba won’t last another decade. The new design is fantastic and will stand the test of time. A 20/80 funding and ownership split could bypass public ownership laws. The government’s handling of these Olympics is a joke, and it’s going to humiliate Brisbane. The Brisbane Olympic Stadium is a brilliant concept that would leave a lasting legacy. Vote out this out of touch Labor Government in October.
Why would it humiliate Brisbane? They begged Brisbane to take it. No one else wanted to host it. Brisbane doesn’t have to build a new stadium. The Olympics is a giant scam that cities and governments around the world are cottoning on to. A refurbed GABBA or QSAC is perfect.
@@mikespearwood3914- Vic Park is the obvious choice. Close to public transport, central location. It’s a no brainer. Shits all over spending $1.6 billion on a stadium that will be (partly) demolished post-games.
The government should just build it because let's be honest the gabba will not last another 10 years this stadium will last an extremely long time once it's done
I agree 👍 It will cost us in the short run And we’ll complain a lot But as time goes on imagine the revenue the Queensland government will take in week in week out from the AFL, cricket , concerts, events, etc… Money that can go towards housing, roads, schools etc.
That is exactly what I thought. Australia is supposed to be one of the richest countries in the world. Pull out of the commonwealth games and then plan to host the Aldi Olympics
$1.6bn on one temporary stadium is just bonkers. I guess low budget Olympics is what happens when they don’t have a bidding process. The host city doesn’t have to make any big commitments. Melbourne could so easily do it with existing infrastructure and the already pending MCG renovation (not that they would after the Comm Games debacle).
Well perhaps the IOC could give Brisbane a couple of billion from their massive endowment to help make it great. Either liberal or labor in charge would be bloody idiots to bankrupt the city just to please the world for 14 days, whilst the IOC makes bank in our backyard.
Melbourne can host the 2032 Olympics and it has the MCG, an already existing 100,000 seat stadium. The majority of Melbourne's already existing sporting facilities are conveniently located and so easy to get to by public transport. Even though there would be a need to build a new International Rowing and Canoeing centre but as Melbourne has most of the required sporting facilities to host the Olympics, the costs to stage it would be minimal by world standards. With Federal Government support and with Corporate sponsorship, this would greatly offset the cost to stage the 2032 Olympics as well. The 2026 could and should be held in Melbourne as well.
I agree but tbf to the government wanna maximise profit for the least amount of money like any business or greedy person. The wanna own the stadium which is incredible and just proves they could care less about the actual experience and just want the name of the olympics being in brissy, sorta like raygun in this Olympics. If I were the private company I would go and ask the Brisbane lions, Brisbane heat and maybe even the Australian cricket to try and influence just building even if it’s not necessarily built as the Olympic stadium until the government have no other option and have to use it.
@@lsfdesigns9060 Mate ALL stadiums built by Government LOSES money lol ALL levels of Government in this Country are in massive Debt, why the eff do the Sheep in this Country keep wanting Government to intervene more & more in their lives?
My understanding is this proposal requires the government/tax payer to gift the developer 150Ha of land, that's possibly worth $3B. IMO Victoria Park or re-build Gabba is the way to go, Hamilton Northshore has no proper mass transit. Building a stadium close to city centre would makes it easier for everyone to travel by public transport to and from events.
VIC park would be a superb spot. But I think they’ll end up just redoing the Gabba since the cross river rail is right there next to it. QSAC cannot happen.
Stupud idea in the middle of a city and a flood prone area. It's not about the stadium let's be honest here. As with all greedy developers its about the profit post Olympics when its repurposed into housing.
Just hand it over to Sydney to host again. Sydneys road network has been significantly upgraded with all new tunnels, the new Western Sydney International airport will be completed in two years. The new metro system has been completed and is operating. All they need to do is upgrade existing facilities at Olympic Park and voilà. Give it back to Sydney if you can’t get your shit together Brisbane.
I worked at the 82 comm games as a photographer. Transport was an unmitigated disaster. It just took one bus to break down and the entire fleet was effectively disabled. The nearest rail station was a good 20-minute walk away. Luckily I had a press carpark. QSAC is THE worst possible option
Stadium looks great. Getting there could be a problem but am not too familiar with public transport that side of the town. Could they not go 20/80 funding and subsequently 20/80 ownership to bypass the public owned laws? The government is a fucking pisstake in regards to these olympics, cant wait for my city to be embarrassed infront of the world.
Sure it looks good But it should be more timeless looking. As time goes on it will be dated.. I just think they should rebuild the Gabba. And create a stadium for Queensland for the 21st century and beyond. Timeless aesthetically pleasing and iconic. It will make huge money on the back end of it was timeless looking
I reckon they build these new developments deliberately in a way that it’ll age poorly, that way no one will be upset when they need to do it over again in 30 years time
How is it we are now 3 years post the games being awarded and still no real suitable answer? To me it’s a simple knock down and rebuild job or Victoria park. Surely the LNP come to the rescue of these games QSAC will be a farce
This is gonna be embarrassing for Australia… I lowkey think Brisbane will have to hand the Olympics off to Melbourne or Sydney due to Brisbane simply not be equipped or ready to host the Olympics. I don’t even know if that’s a possibility legally but if it happens, you heard it here first lol!
@@thrusta100Daniel Andrews only used the idea of a regional Victoria Commonwealth Games just to win votes from regional Victorians to help him win the last Victorian election.
This new design is incredible. It seems almost too good to be true. But I still believe that the Victoria Park option is the best. Mainly because of its location. No additional transport needs to be added. Hamilton will need the train line extended. That's also is what is being (conveniently) left out of the QSAC upgrade option. The government will have to spend major money upgrading transport.
Great video, as always, PP. Big issue with the proposed stadium. Brisbane floods!!! One of the main reasons the metro was built in the first place was to have better transport links to the Gabba. Even with knocking down East Brisbane SS next to the gabba., it's almost too small of an area to have the olympics. I know having watched lions games, there aren't a lot of pubs etc to go to afterwards compared to games at suncorp. The liberals when they get in will have 2 options, I'm discounting this option in the video due to the price tag. 1. Build it at Victoria Park, knock the gabba down, and turn it into housing and parkland (Greens own the electorate at all 3 levels). Kangaroo Point is already an extremely high-density area. The cost of the stadium will be 3 billion now, but in 15-20 years, it will be considered a great investment as major acts won't bypass Brisbane (e.g., Taylor Swift). 2. Do what Sydney did and build a proper Olympic area. House the athletes there, and a bunch of facilities. A lot of the facilities are spread out in Brisbane. Even the bullets have moved from Mt Gravatt back to The entertainment center in Boondall. If you have a bunch of facilities in one area, it would get a lot of use from sporting teams in the area and with Brisbane's growth could even create another AFL. Look at Melbourne, how they have done their planning is amazing. It could go out west or north, which would force the government to spend more money on infrastructure in the suburbs. Or we could be brave and create a sporting precinct at Victoria Park.
Hahaha 1) you may as well double the cost. Stadiums never come in on budget 2) If this is privately funded you are going to be paying $1,000 for the very back seat just to see a track heat. Brisbane games organisers would be very very foolish building a new stadium.
@@albertmiller2electricbooga897 not on the governments tab is correct. Sky high tickets and expensive leases for future sporting teams to use it absolutely. Private equity isn’t stupid. They would only build such a stadium to make a shit load of money
@@bennwaters5851 Yep at least with the government, they will have the people’s best interest at heart. If a private entity owns the stadium, you can be damn sure that they’ll try and milk the public for every last cent they have.

@@markbph2336 - Qld is absolutely a basket case economically, but the games are absolutely affordable, particularly when you consider that the state is due for an upgrade/addition of sporting infrastructure. My comment was in response to your confusion around how Brisbane was awarded the games despite not having the infrastructure, when Sydney was in the exact same boat. You can see how heavily Sydney relies on their Olympic infrastructure 24 years after the event. This will hopefully be the same for Brisbane, but will be a huge missed opportunity if we spend $7 billion on facilities that have no legacy value.
I haven’t seen anyone say what I’m about to say so I’m probably in the minority to say that this proposed stadium looks horrible. There would be no atmosphere in a stadium set up like that. And apartments on top of!! Guess the tenants won’t need to buy tickets- stupidest idea ever. 😊 The way things are going up there, I can see an “Andrews” style backflip coming where Brisbane drops out and says it’s just too expensive!! BTW I’ve been to QSAC a number of times and that place is terrible for transport and roads in and out of the area. Simples in charge will mean a simples Olympics
@@andrewkerr5296 actually I’ve never made any comments about Perth Stadium, never been there but it looks pretty good. Opinions are like assholes - everybody’s got one and we don’t have to agree with each other but we can be respectful to one another. As for your ‘pleb’ comment you clearly don’t know me and I certainly won’t sink to that level. Have a good night.
There is a lot wrong with the Hamilton proposal that isn't immediately obvious, especially with those proposing it waving around over the top renderings and a supposedly "free" price tag. For starters, A privately funded stadium is a privately owned stadium. Publicly owned stadiums are a major economic tool for governments, and having more direct control over their use and management is advantageous to the public interest. No doubt that if we went ahead with this private build, we'd have said private company coming into regular disputes with the AFL and Cricket over how the stadium is used, as well as regular lobbying for government funds to address the various issues that arise throughout the life cycle of such infrastructure. The owners will argue that the importance of their stadium to the region's economy justifies these handouts (and they'd have a valid point at that). Why deal with this when the public itself can own the infrastructure? Next up, location. Now on the surface this looks like a great idea! The exact location is currently under-developed, the area in general is a major growth and emerging activity hotspot for Brisbane and the Olympic village is right next door! What could possibly be wrong with this set up? Well lets start with the land you'd be acquiring. This land is earmarked for significant high density development over the next decade. Basically, take what is already at Hamilton and copy-paste it right up to the Gateway Bridge. Development of this area represents huge proportion of planned growth in SEQ. Slicing a huge chunk of it off for a stadium is a questionable decision, especially in contrast to Victoria Park, essentially being built on a former golf course right next to the CBD, or the Gabba, which is just intensifying the existing use. The question on why we are spending money on stadiums rather then houses is often raised, and I don't think it's a valid argument most the time, but in this instance there is a very direct trade off, because the land in question is literally planned to have major, high-density residential on it. Still on location, Hamilton isn't very well connected to the CBD, at least not by public transport. This is a major problem that will need to be resolved in the long term planning of the area anyway, but if we were to build the stadium there, we are forced to resolve it right now, and I don't think we have the capacity to do so. Most people point to the proximity of the Doomben line and claim it could be easily extended to the foreshore. What they are missing is how ill suited the Doomben line is for such a service. The Doomben line is a barely used single track route and would require basically a full upgrade if it were to serve the desired role. This is possible, but would only be beneficial for the Northshore precinct, as even in its current state, the Doomben line is perfectly sufficient to handle its current demands. So it isn't just and easy little extension of the line, it's basically a full rebuild, which puts us into similar territory to what would be required to get mass public transit to QSAC. Further to this, the actual route the Doomben line takes to the CBD is circuitous and inefficient. It takes 25min to get from Doomben to Central station by train. It's also possible to catch a bus from Doomben station to Central, in 25mins..... despite travelling through traffic, the bus keeps pace with the train because the route by rail is just that bad. A Northshore comparison would be even worse, as a hypothetical Doomben extension is even more circuitous, and a hypothetical bus service is even more direct then the Doomben-Central version. A Doomben line extension is a second rate transport link not remotely suitable to the needs of Northshore, even before accounting for the stadium. What is needed is a dedicated, direct mass transit link. This has been proposed in the form of various 'subway' and 'metro' proposals that usually look to link Hamilton/Northshore, Bulimba, Newstead, New Farm, Kangaroo Point, Eagle St and George St (CBD), South Brisbane, West End and Toowong, providing cross city transit capacity and key links to areas otherwise lacking in mass transit. This project is the likely ultimate solution to transport to Northshore, but it won't really be relevant for at least a decade, as the planned timeline of development for the land doesn't create the demand needed to require the build just yet. If we put the Olympic stadium in Northshore, we'd have to build that subway in time for the games, and based on how long it would take to get it done, given it has not even been through significant planning processes, I'd say we had to have started about 4 years ago, so that's simply not happening. So basically, a Northshore Olympic stadium is going to be about as weak in public transport links as the QSAC proposal is. Now, lets talk about those renderings for a moment. Does anyone actually believe we'd receive an end product even remotely like that? For starters, there is a lot there that looks amazing from the perspective of a drone, but if you think it through, at a ground level it's kind of nonsense. Those giant rooves that fan out are clearly presented as a sort of parkland and major active transit thoroughfare, but that's a bit of madness isn't it? It'll be quite a hike to get up there, and as an active transit route, the flourish is just painfully silly. It's the equivalent of thinking it's a good idea to put a corkscrew in your local street because it looks cool, when in reality is is just impeding the ability for the street to do it's primary job. You see this a lot from proposals that don't consult proper urban planning professionals. Something that looks amazing from a top down perspective very rarely translates to a pleasant experience at a human level. It doesn't matter how impressive a space looks from 500m in the air, because when you experience it, you'll be experiencing it at eye level. Beside that, are we really going to believe that the private company who want to make money through hosting events at the stadium are going to have giant walkways above where you can look down into the stadium for free? So what is the plan then, block them off whenever there is an event? Not exactly great for public amenity. We've also got a lot of waterworks here. That's a lot impact on the Brisbane River right there. In terms of environmental planning, you're just asking for an absolute nightmare trying to pull this off. Lets put aside how horribly expensive it is, as well as how it doesn't really add anything useful (it's now land you can't build on, and it's not like we didn't have waterfrontage already), the environmental risk involved would have the canals dead in the water. Let's not even start on the flood mitigation that would be required. The real laughable proposal though is the footbridge over the river. Now, the city council proposed a series of pedestrian river crossings a few elections back, and of course after they won those elections they got hard to work making them happen. One of the proposed bridges was Kangaroo Point to New Farm, which would be an incredibly useful link. Unfortunately, it turns out that under current planning laws, such a bridge would have to have at least the same clearance as the Story Bridge to allow for the currently approved scale of shipping on that part of the river. So, the pedestrian bridge would have had to have been comically massive, cost way too much and was ultimately scraped. Now, consider that this stadium site sits between the cruise terminal at Hamilton and the Gateway bridge, and I think you can see where this is going. Any bridge over the river in this area is going to need to be around the height of the Gateway Bridge. So that's a non-starter. The fact that the proposal includes it at all shows how little thought has actually gone into this. This is pretty basic stuff, and it clearly hasn't been considered at all, because all this proposal is, is a light show designed to attract as much attention and as little critical thought as possible. Now, as for the actual plan, I don't think even the current Labor government believe QSAC is a good idea. I think it's as simple as an outgoing government knowing they can't win the next election, and trying to make the most of a bad situation. There is no 'popular' option for the stadium. Every option is either blatantly a bad idea, or causes major controversy with certain groups (and of course the sizable contingent that want us to drop the games altogether who will accept no proposal). So, knowing that they will never have to actually act on it, and that not much will happen in the year before the election anyway, Labor took what they believed to be the least controversial, pot stirring option. It doesn't matter if it's a bad call, because at the end of the day, it won't be their call to make! As for the Liberals, as you rightly pointed out, they don't need to commit to anything. Personally I believe they'll go down the Vic Park route once they get in, but before that, they have nothing to gain and everything to lose by declaring one way or another, so why would they? This will all be sorted out in due time, but the political situation has forced an awkward stasis on the whole thing. Labor isn't going to take risk on further damaging its already precarious position over something that will be out of their control soon anyway, and the Liberals won't take risk until they have secured that control. Post the October election, I believe things will begin to move very quickly.
And of course, there is zero risk of building major infrastructure on a floodplain that has been inundated at least 5 times in my lifetime. It's at the same elevation as the poorly thought-out Albion site that floods every king tide. Dumb, dumb, proposal. I guarantee Brisbane will withdraw from hosting before 2028.
yeah, i think this just solidifies for me that the gabba and vic park are the only feasible options. my personal choice would be vic park, but as long as it’s not this horrible design or qsac it will be ok.
@@keeran02 Victoria Park seems to work all round, but I agree. Improve the design to give it more of a modern edge. To me the Gabba is too much in high density with no land space around, this has always been a problem with roads circulating it, highyly dangerous and bad traffic. No matter how much money you spent on improving the gabba, the situations above would never change due to land space.
Brisbane Olympic Stadium is brilliant , imaginative and an amazing legacy for Brisbane. Make it happen by voting out 😬 this out of touch Labor Government in October.
Just rebuild the damn Gabba. Like so many comments have said, it needs a revamp anyway. And to people saying the land size is too small to make the stadium big enough, god damn pls think outside the box. Those roads can be moved or closed (improves traffic in the area), and further out from those roads are just single or double story lots and lots of carparks that can be removed as well!
The federal government needs to step in and make an executive decision on the whereabouts of the Olympic stadium, whether it be a revamped/rebuilt GABBA or a new stadium at Victoria Park. If the QLD government decides to go with using the QSAC as the primary Olympic venue, it would be an utter embarrassment on our great nation.
$6bn at no cost to the taxpayer? Really? There's no such thing as a free lunch! For the record, the IOC doesn't recommend building new venues like this. They're trying to shift the Games to a more sustainable basis. Gabba won't last another decade? Have you seen the MCG or LA Coliseum? The current renovation plan sits perfectly within the IOC's ideas.

Way better than a Gabba refresh and aths QSAC refresh, and swapping the roads that surround the Gabba for water, amazing idea that’s totally Brisbane. Epic stadium, it should defs happen!!
As long as I don't have to contribute anything to it The Olympics is just a Communist w*nkfest, why should I pay anything for it, when I don't even watch a single minute of it
I don’t think they will play test cricket indoors at Hobart. I think not having varying conditions will take a huge element out of the game and might effect or enhance swing too much. If they play tests in Hobart it will still be at Bellerive.
The Gabba is the worst major stadium in the country by some distance. The QLD governments answer to this seems to be to make a worse one at QSAC and therefore have the Gabba not look so bad by comparison
Haha. You can tell this guy’s disappointed coming from an AFL lens. Understand! Bris is an RL town, and the government is looking out for Bris' sporting interests after the Olympics are gone. Watch, they will be building around a stadium for the Sth Bris NRL team. 🙌
Interesting that the Gabba is not guaranteed Teat cricket past this years Border Gavaskar Trophy and the ashes next year. CA trying to get a redevelopment? It’s really a no-brainer on developing a stadium for the Olympics that can be used for test and international cricket, test rugby and league and then AFL before and after.
They already making Gabba a major transit hub...why wouldn't they just expand it there? I truly believe this city with the current government or even mindset will be able to host the olymics effectively by 2032...
QLD govt just needs to bite the bullet and build a new one, whether that be this one, renoing the gabba/suncorp or building one at Victoria Park. Current stadiums aren’t going to last another decade.
Steven miles will do anything and everything he can to ensure that qsac hosts the games? Why you may ask? Because our premier wants to showcase how shit of a city Brisbane is and look no further than qsac
The ALP don't actually want QSAC they chose it because choosing The Gabba or Vic Park before the election would cost them votes in the seats of South Brisbane and McConnel both of which are very important to the ALP at the upcoming election
I think they should have done it, maybe the gov coulf have just rented it for the olympics so they owned it for a while, it would have put brisbane on the map. Lets be real the gabba is too old, suncorp is just a regular stadium, and QSAC would be an embarrassment
I'm sure if they don't build a new oval stadium, Brisbane is going to start losing test cricket to Hobart very soon. Australia will be playing total of 7 home test matches in 2026-27 season, and none of them will be played in Brisbane, shame.
Northshore is a horrible location. No transport out to there and the stadium is right on the river, you know the thing that floods every 10 years. All this proposal proves is that Vic Park is the perfect option as multi mode transport is already there, easy to build walking infrastructure into the city and it isn't reliant on developers hidden agendas.
Good cancel the games it is a total waste of time and money for little income exposure no one care anymore I use to watch but in the last 20 year no way most of the stadiums they have built around the world are abandoned and falling apart. None I my friend watch it they don't care the same with people at work. CANCEL IT
Just rebuild the Gabba to 50/60k and upgrade Suncorp or build a new rectangular stadium at about 65/70k with a roof. Brisbane is a Rugby League city so it doesn't make sense to build a outlandish oval stadium. You have more major events that use a rectangular stadium (Magic Round, State of Origin, Brisbane Broncos home games and battle of Brisbane derby, Matilda and Socceroo games, Rugby Union tests etc.) that would utilise the capacity. I don't see the Lions or Cricket Australia filling a 60,000 seat stadium anytime soon.
Why do you want a new rectangular stadium for? Lang Park isn't falling down and meets the needs of its current tenants, a new rectangular stadium isn't needed for the Olympics and it'll be another mega expensive build on top of the other new venue and infrastructure projects being undertaken for 2032. Don't go throwing unnecessary billions at the one stadium that bne actually has right.
@@Fluggegecheimen69 Actually by 2032, the redeveloped stands will be nearly 30 years old. Suncorp atm is also too small. It needs to be 60k+ minimum and adding a roof would be ideal due to the amount of games affected by rain. You could then host the aquatics at Suncorp during the Olympics. You might as well use the Olympics to rebuild all your stadiums and set up for the future.
@@B-tr9kz That's a fair point, but Suncorp suffices at it's current size. It would only be possibly 4-6 events a year that could possibly draw more than the current 52,000 capacity, so why the desperate need for it???
Depressed Ginger did this topic 3 days ago. And your video absolutely destroys him. I mean the first red flag already occurred when DG couldn't pronounce Brisbane properly!!!!!
Because Lions, Heat, test match cricket, ODI's & IT20's won't sellout an 80,000-seat stadium on a regular basis. The only way an 80,000-seat stadium would work is the Sydney model: reducing capacity after the Olympics are done to something more appropriate.
@@mikespearwood3914 that could work much better maybe take out some seating and change them to corporate boxes or suites or a luxury lounges after the Olympics

Melbourne could so easily do it with existing infrastructure and the already pending MCG renovation (not that they would after the Comm Games debacle).
Well perhaps the IOC could give Brisbane a couple of billion from their massive endowment to help make it great. Either liberal or labor in charge would be bloody idiots to bankrupt the city just to please the world for 14 days, whilst the IOC makes bank in our backyard.
Brisbane only got the games because they were the only city that made a bid for it.
Melbourne can host the 2032 Olympics and it has the MCG, an already existing 100,000 seat stadium. The majority of Melbourne's already existing sporting facilities are conveniently located and so easy to get to by public transport. Even though there would be a need to build a new International Rowing and Canoeing centre but as Melbourne has most of the required sporting facilities to host the Olympics, the costs to stage it would be minimal by world standards. With Federal Government support and with Corporate sponsorship, this would greatly offset the cost to stage the 2032 Olympics as well. The 2026 could and should be held in Melbourne as well.
The Queensland government is attempting to run this event by not running this event. Brilliance!

LOL you think the Fascist Libs are any better?
@@andrewkerr5296 yes much
My understanding is this proposal requires the government/tax payer to gift the developer 150Ha of land, that's possibly worth $3B.
IMO Victoria Park or re-build Gabba is the way to go, Hamilton Northshore has no proper mass transit. Building a stadium close to city centre would makes it easier for everyone to travel by public transport to and from events.
VIC park would be a superb spot. But I think they’ll end up just redoing the Gabba since the cross river rail is right there next to it. QSAC cannot happen.
yes victoria park is by far the best option!!
Stupud idea in the middle of a city and a flood prone area. It's not about the stadium let's be honest here. As with all greedy developers its about the profit post Olympics when its repurposed into housing.
You have NFI about Property Development do you?
Please don't vote
In Australia we have a democratic right to vote for a reason. Truth hurts does it?@@andrewkerr5296
Just hand it over to Sydney to host again. Sydneys road network has been significantly upgraded with all new tunnels, the new Western Sydney International airport will be completed in two years. The new metro system has been completed and is operating. All they need to do is upgrade existing facilities at Olympic Park and voilà. Give it back to Sydney if you can’t get your shit together Brisbane.
QSAC is the old QE2 from 82 Commonwealth Games. Not much infrastructure out there. Just buses near the SE Freeway aka huge traffic jams.
I worked at the 82 comm games as a photographer. Transport was an unmitigated disaster. It just took one bus to break down and the entire fleet was effectively disabled. The nearest rail station was a good 20-minute walk away. Luckily I had a press carpark. QSAC is THE worst possible option
Stadium looks great. Getting there could be a problem but am not too familiar with public transport that side of the town. Could they not go 20/80 funding and subsequently 20/80 ownership to bypass the public owned laws? The government is a fucking pisstake in regards to these olympics, cant wait for my city to be embarrassed infront of the world.
Sure it looks good
But it should be more timeless looking.
As time goes on it will be dated..
I just think they should rebuild the Gabba.
And create a stadium for Queensland for the 21st century and beyond.
Timeless aesthetically pleasing and iconic.
It will make huge money on the back end of it was timeless looking
I reckon they build these new developments deliberately in a way that it’ll age poorly, that way no one will be upset when they need to do it over again in 30 years time
How is it we are now 3 years post the games being awarded and still no real suitable answer? To me it’s a simple knock down and rebuild job or Victoria park. Surely the LNP come to the rescue of these games QSAC will be a farce
F the queensland government
U cant blame the whole queensland government, just blame the person in charge of approving these shit
Yep and they're purposely trying to make Qld look stupid also..
Limited intelligence
Australia is not the same place it was when we hosted the 2000 Olympics this is going to be an absolute fucking embarrassment, I can feel it
The Olympics is an embarrassment REGARDLESS of where it is lol
Australia is just backwards we need new stadiums we can’t stay in the past
This is gonna be embarrassing for Australia… I lowkey think Brisbane will have to hand the Olympics off to Melbourne or Sydney due to Brisbane simply not be equipped or ready to host the Olympics. I don’t even know if that’s a possibility legally but if it happens, you heard it here first lol!

I agree too, but the sheep in Australia love having the Government control them
This new design is incredible. It seems almost too good to be true. But I still believe that the Victoria Park option is the best. Mainly because of its location. No additional transport needs to be added. Hamilton will need the train line extended. That's also is what is being (conveniently) left out of the QSAC upgrade option. The government will have to spend major money upgrading transport.
Great video, as always, PP.
Big issue with the proposed stadium. Brisbane floods!!! One of the main reasons the metro was built in the first place was to have better transport links to the Gabba. Even with knocking down East Brisbane SS next to the gabba., it's almost too small of an area to have the olympics. I know having watched lions games, there aren't a lot of pubs etc to go to afterwards compared to games at suncorp.
The liberals when they get in will have 2 options, I'm discounting this option in the video due to the price tag.
1. Build it at Victoria Park, knock the gabba down, and turn it into housing and parkland (Greens own the electorate at all 3 levels). Kangaroo Point is already an extremely high-density area. The cost of the stadium will be 3 billion now, but in 15-20 years, it will be considered a great investment as major acts won't bypass Brisbane (e.g., Taylor Swift).
2. Do what Sydney did and build a proper Olympic area. House the athletes there, and a bunch of facilities. A lot of the facilities are spread out in Brisbane. Even the bullets have moved from Mt Gravatt back to The entertainment center in Boondall. If you have a bunch of facilities in one area, it would get a lot of use from sporting teams in the area and with Brisbane's growth could even create another AFL. Look at Melbourne, how they have done their planning is amazing. It could go out west or north, which would force the government to spend more money on infrastructure in the suburbs. Or we could be brave and create a sporting precinct at Victoria Park.
I'm sure they would raise the land up high above any previous major flood level 😂
That QSAC rendering looks shit
That’s what $1 billion gets you apparently 😂
Looks like a stadium you'd have in Hicksville...
Hahaha 1) you may as well double the cost. Stadiums never come in on budget 2) If this is privately funded you are going to be paying $1,000 for the very back seat just to see a track heat.
Brisbane games organisers would be very very foolish building a new stadium.
Privately funded doesn't necessarily mean privately run, and even if it's over budget, it's still not on the government's tab
@@albertmiller2electricbooga897 not on the governments tab is correct. Sky high tickets and expensive leases for future sporting teams to use it absolutely. Private equity isn’t stupid. They would only build such a stadium to make a shit load of money
@@bennwaters5851 Yep at least with the government, they will have the people’s best interest at heart. If a private entity owns the stadium, you can be damn sure that they’ll try and milk the public for every last cent they have.

@@markbph2336 - Qld is absolutely a basket case economically, but the games are absolutely affordable, particularly when you consider that the state is due for an upgrade/addition of sporting infrastructure. My comment was in response to your confusion around how Brisbane was awarded the games despite not having the infrastructure, when Sydney was in the exact same boat. You can see how heavily Sydney relies on their Olympic infrastructure 24 years after the event. This will hopefully be the same for Brisbane, but will be a huge missed opportunity if we spend $7 billion on facilities that have no legacy value.
I haven’t seen anyone say what I’m about to say so I’m probably in the minority to say that this proposed stadium looks horrible. There would be no atmosphere in a stadium set up like that. And apartments on top of!! Guess the tenants won’t need to buy tickets- stupidest idea ever. 😊 The way things are going up there, I can see an “Andrews” style backflip coming where Brisbane drops out and says it’s just too expensive!! BTW I’ve been to QSAC a number of times and that place is terrible for transport and roads in and out of the area. Simples in charge will mean a simples Olympics
Plebs like you, said the EXACT same thing about Perth Stadium lolololol
@@andrewkerr5296 actually I’ve never made any comments about Perth Stadium, never been there but it looks pretty good. Opinions are like assholes - everybody’s got one and we don’t have to agree with each other but we can be respectful to one another. As for your ‘pleb’ comment you clearly don’t know me and I certainly won’t sink to that level. Have a good night.
Can't wait for the no frills Olympics, not.
There is a lot wrong with the Hamilton proposal that isn't immediately obvious, especially with those proposing it waving around over the top renderings and a supposedly "free" price tag.
For starters, A privately funded stadium is a privately owned stadium. Publicly owned stadiums are a major economic tool for governments, and having more direct control over their use and management is advantageous to the public interest. No doubt that if we went ahead with this private build, we'd have said private company coming into regular disputes with the AFL and Cricket over how the stadium is used, as well as regular lobbying for government funds to address the various issues that arise throughout the life cycle of such infrastructure. The owners will argue that the importance of their stadium to the region's economy justifies these handouts (and they'd have a valid point at that). Why deal with this when the public itself can own the infrastructure?
Next up, location. Now on the surface this looks like a great idea! The exact location is currently under-developed, the area in general is a major growth and emerging activity hotspot for Brisbane and the Olympic village is right next door! What could possibly be wrong with this set up? Well lets start with the land you'd be acquiring. This land is earmarked for significant high density development over the next decade. Basically, take what is already at Hamilton and copy-paste it right up to the Gateway Bridge. Development of this area represents huge proportion of planned growth in SEQ. Slicing a huge chunk of it off for a stadium is a questionable decision, especially in contrast to Victoria Park, essentially being built on a former golf course right next to the CBD, or the Gabba, which is just intensifying the existing use. The question on why we are spending money on stadiums rather then houses is often raised, and I don't think it's a valid argument most the time, but in this instance there is a very direct trade off, because the land in question is literally planned to have major, high-density residential on it.
Still on location, Hamilton isn't very well connected to the CBD, at least not by public transport. This is a major problem that will need to be resolved in the long term planning of the area anyway, but if we were to build the stadium there, we are forced to resolve it right now, and I don't think we have the capacity to do so. Most people point to the proximity of the Doomben line and claim it could be easily extended to the foreshore. What they are missing is how ill suited the Doomben line is for such a service. The Doomben line is a barely used single track route and would require basically a full upgrade if it were to serve the desired role. This is possible, but would only be beneficial for the Northshore precinct, as even in its current state, the Doomben line is perfectly sufficient to handle its current demands. So it isn't just and easy little extension of the line, it's basically a full rebuild, which puts us into similar territory to what would be required to get mass public transit to QSAC. Further to this, the actual route the Doomben line takes to the CBD is circuitous and inefficient. It takes 25min to get from Doomben to Central station by train. It's also possible to catch a bus from Doomben station to Central, in 25mins..... despite travelling through traffic, the bus keeps pace with the train because the route by rail is just that bad. A Northshore comparison would be even worse, as a hypothetical Doomben extension is even more circuitous, and a hypothetical bus service is even more direct then the Doomben-Central version.
A Doomben line extension is a second rate transport link not remotely suitable to the needs of Northshore, even before accounting for the stadium. What is needed is a dedicated, direct mass transit link. This has been proposed in the form of various 'subway' and 'metro' proposals that usually look to link Hamilton/Northshore, Bulimba, Newstead, New Farm, Kangaroo Point, Eagle St and George St (CBD), South Brisbane, West End and Toowong, providing cross city transit capacity and key links to areas otherwise lacking in mass transit. This project is the likely ultimate solution to transport to Northshore, but it won't really be relevant for at least a decade, as the planned timeline of development for the land doesn't create the demand needed to require the build just yet. If we put the Olympic stadium in Northshore, we'd have to build that subway in time for the games, and based on how long it would take to get it done, given it has not even been through significant planning processes, I'd say we had to have started about 4 years ago, so that's simply not happening. So basically, a Northshore Olympic stadium is going to be about as weak in public transport links as the QSAC proposal is.
Now, lets talk about those renderings for a moment. Does anyone actually believe we'd receive an end product even remotely like that? For starters, there is a lot there that looks amazing from the perspective of a drone, but if you think it through, at a ground level it's kind of nonsense. Those giant rooves that fan out are clearly presented as a sort of parkland and major active transit thoroughfare, but that's a bit of madness isn't it? It'll be quite a hike to get up there, and as an active transit route, the flourish is just painfully silly. It's the equivalent of thinking it's a good idea to put a corkscrew in your local street because it looks cool, when in reality is is just impeding the ability for the street to do it's primary job. You see this a lot from proposals that don't consult proper urban planning professionals. Something that looks amazing from a top down perspective very rarely translates to a pleasant experience at a human level. It doesn't matter how impressive a space looks from 500m in the air, because when you experience it, you'll be experiencing it at eye level. Beside that, are we really going to believe that the private company who want to make money through hosting events at the stadium are going to have giant walkways above where you can look down into the stadium for free? So what is the plan then, block them off whenever there is an event? Not exactly great for public amenity.
We've also got a lot of waterworks here. That's a lot impact on the Brisbane River right there. In terms of environmental planning, you're just asking for an absolute nightmare trying to pull this off. Lets put aside how horribly expensive it is, as well as how it doesn't really add anything useful (it's now land you can't build on, and it's not like we didn't have waterfrontage already), the environmental risk involved would have the canals dead in the water. Let's not even start on the flood mitigation that would be required.
The real laughable proposal though is the footbridge over the river. Now, the city council proposed a series of pedestrian river crossings a few elections back, and of course after they won those elections they got hard to work making them happen. One of the proposed bridges was Kangaroo Point to New Farm, which would be an incredibly useful link. Unfortunately, it turns out that under current planning laws, such a bridge would have to have at least the same clearance as the Story Bridge to allow for the currently approved scale of shipping on that part of the river. So, the pedestrian bridge would have had to have been comically massive, cost way too much and was ultimately scraped. Now, consider that this stadium site sits between the cruise terminal at Hamilton and the Gateway bridge, and I think you can see where this is going. Any bridge over the river in this area is going to need to be around the height of the Gateway Bridge. So that's a non-starter. The fact that the proposal includes it at all shows how little thought has actually gone into this. This is pretty basic stuff, and it clearly hasn't been considered at all, because all this proposal is, is a light show designed to attract as much attention and as little critical thought as possible.
Now, as for the actual plan, I don't think even the current Labor government believe QSAC is a good idea. I think it's as simple as an outgoing government knowing they can't win the next election, and trying to make the most of a bad situation. There is no 'popular' option for the stadium. Every option is either blatantly a bad idea, or causes major controversy with certain groups (and of course the sizable contingent that want us to drop the games altogether who will accept no proposal). So, knowing that they will never have to actually act on it, and that not much will happen in the year before the election anyway, Labor took what they believed to be the least controversial, pot stirring option. It doesn't matter if it's a bad call, because at the end of the day, it won't be their call to make! As for the Liberals, as you rightly pointed out, they don't need to commit to anything. Personally I believe they'll go down the Vic Park route once they get in, but before that, they have nothing to gain and everything to lose by declaring one way or another, so why would they?
This will all be sorted out in due time, but the political situation has forced an awkward stasis on the whole thing. Labor isn't going to take risk on further damaging its already precarious position over something that will be out of their control soon anyway, and the Liberals won't take risk until they have secured that control. Post the October election, I believe things will begin to move very quickly.
And of course, there is zero risk of building major infrastructure on a floodplain that has been inundated at least 5 times in my lifetime. It's at the same elevation as the poorly thought-out Albion site that floods every king tide. Dumb, dumb, proposal. I guarantee Brisbane will withdraw from hosting before 2028.
yeah, i think this just solidifies for me that the gabba and vic park are the only feasible options. my personal choice would be vic park, but as long as it’s not this horrible design or qsac it will be ok.
@@keeran02 Victoria Park seems to work all round, but I agree. Improve the design to give it more of a modern edge. To me the Gabba is too much in high density with no land space around, this has always been a problem with roads circulating it, highyly dangerous and bad traffic. No matter how much money you spent on improving the gabba, the situations above would never change due to land space.
No TH-cam comment needs to be that long
Brisbane Olympic Stadium is brilliant , imaginative and an amazing legacy for Brisbane. Make it happen by voting out 😬 this out of touch Labor Government in October.
Did u watch the video? The Olympics committee require a publicly owned stadium
@@RM-yk1oi The Olympic committee were backing the proposal
Why does Labor love half assing everything 😢
Just rebuild the damn Gabba. Like so many comments have said, it needs a revamp anyway. And to people saying the land size is too small to make the stadium big enough, god damn pls think outside the box. Those roads can be moved or closed (improves traffic in the area), and further out from those roads are just single or double story lots and lots of carparks that can be removed as well!
The federal government needs to step in and make an executive decision on the whereabouts of the Olympic stadium, whether it be a revamped/rebuilt GABBA or a new stadium at Victoria Park. If the QLD government decides to go with using the QSAC as the primary Olympic venue, it would be an utter embarrassment on our great nation.
$6bn at no cost to the taxpayer? Really? There's no such thing as a free lunch! For the record, the IOC doesn't recommend building new venues like this. They're trying to shift the Games to a more sustainable basis. Gabba won't last another decade? Have you seen the MCG or LA Coliseum? The current renovation plan sits perfectly within the IOC's ideas.
This not just to satisfy the IOC

I don’t think they will play test cricket indoors at Hobart. I think not having varying conditions will take a huge element out of the game and might effect or enhance swing too much.
If they play tests in Hobart it will still be at Bellerive.
Playing test cricket indoors is like sailing indoors. It requires weather.
The Gabba is the worst major stadium in the country by some distance. The QLD governments answer to this seems to be to make a worse one at QSAC and therefore have the Gabba not look so bad by comparison
Ooft this could well end in tears.
Haha. You can tell this guy’s disappointed coming from an AFL lens. Understand! Bris is an RL town, and the government is looking out for Bris' sporting interests after the Olympics are gone. Watch, they will be building around a stadium for the Sth Bris NRL team. 🙌
100% Suncorp has 3 times to patrons as Gabba, put the money into the stadium that makes money.
Why! If there was no cost. This would have been an attraction in itself. Let alone a venue that all could be proud of.
Propose this to Victoria. A privately funded $6B stadium? Yes please.
This looks more like a 10 billion stadium after inflation!!! Let's donate some money to build it!!
Interesting that the Gabba is not guaranteed Teat cricket past this years Border Gavaskar Trophy and the ashes next year. CA trying to get a redevelopment? It’s really a no-brainer on developing a stadium for the Olympics that can be used for test and international cricket, test rugby and league and then AFL before and after.
They already making Gabba a major transit hub...why wouldn't they just expand it there? I truly believe this city with the current government or even mindset will be able to host the olymics effectively by 2032...
To quote Effie: “how embarrassment!”
QLD govt just needs to bite the bullet and build a new one, whether that be this one, renoing the gabba/suncorp or building one at Victoria Park. Current stadiums aren’t going to last another decade.
It will cost the public not a single cent UNTIL the government needs to bailed it out at some stage in the future!
How is LA using their arenas? Most of them are privately owned....
Which is a GOOD thing
Because Individuals who don't like the NFL, aren't FORCED to pay for it
Steven miles will do anything and everything he can to ensure that qsac hosts the games? Why you may ask? Because our premier wants to showcase how shit of a city Brisbane is and look no further than qsac
The ALP don't actually want QSAC they chose it because choosing The Gabba or Vic Park before the election would cost them votes in the seats of South Brisbane and McConnel both of which are very important to the ALP at the upcoming election
I think they should have done it, maybe the gov coulf have just rented it for the olympics so they owned it for a while, it would have put brisbane on the map. Lets be real the gabba is too old, suncorp is just a regular stadium, and QSAC would be an embarrassment
If they are gonna be this stingy they might as well just give up. Why even bother at this point.
Lol let Sydney host e the Athletes at its Olympic stadium as Qld Gov keeps farking it up..
The Gabba has to be rebuilt seriously if they really want to do the opening ceremony there
Backwards Qld. What a joke
I'm sure if they don't build a new oval stadium, Brisbane is going to start losing test cricket to Hobart very soon. Australia will be playing total of 7 home test matches in 2026-27 season, and none of them will be played in Brisbane, shame.
Let's bump the olympics. Let someone else go broke trying to pay for that IOC gravy train.
Northshore is a horrible location. No transport out to there and the stadium is right on the river, you know the thing that floods every 10 years. All this proposal proves is that Vic Park is the perfect option as multi mode transport is already there, easy to build walking infrastructure into the city and it isn't reliant on developers hidden agendas.
Queensland government don’t bother about the new stadium for the Olympic.
You should do a video on NBL expansion.
Good cancel the games it is a total waste of time and money for little income exposure no one care anymore I use to watch but in the last 20 year no way most of the stadiums they have built around the world are abandoned and falling apart. None I my friend watch it they don't care the same with people at work. CANCEL IT
Australian always whinging
Just rebuild the Gabba to 50/60k and upgrade Suncorp or build a new rectangular stadium at about 65/70k with a roof.
Brisbane is a Rugby League city so it doesn't make sense to build a outlandish oval stadium. You have more major events that use a rectangular stadium (Magic Round, State of Origin, Brisbane Broncos home games and battle of Brisbane derby, Matilda and Socceroo games, Rugby Union tests etc.) that would utilise the capacity. I don't see the Lions or Cricket Australia filling a 60,000 seat stadium anytime soon.
Why do you want a new rectangular stadium for? Lang Park isn't falling down and meets the needs of its current tenants, a new rectangular stadium isn't needed for the Olympics and it'll be another mega expensive build on top of the other new venue and infrastructure projects being undertaken for 2032. Don't go throwing unnecessary billions at the one stadium that bne actually has right.
@@Fluggegecheimen69 Actually by 2032, the redeveloped stands will be nearly 30 years old.
Suncorp atm is also too small. It needs to be 60k+ minimum and adding a roof would be ideal due to the amount of games affected by rain. You could then host the aquatics at Suncorp during the Olympics.

Because Lions, Heat, test match cricket, ODI's & IT20's won't sellout an 80,000-seat stadium on a regular basis. The only way an 80,000-seat stadium would work is the Sydney model: reducing capacity after the Olympics are done to something more appropriate.
