Queensland Premier rejects $3.4bn stadium, opts for $1.6bn QEII refurbishment for Brisbane 2032 Olympics.

Queensland Premier Steven Miles has rejected a recommendation to build a $3.4 billion stadium as part of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic plans. The review, led by former Brisbane Lord Mayor Graham Quirk, suggested a new 55,000-seat stadium be constructed at Victoria Park in inner-Brisbane. Miles instead opted for a $1.6 billion refurbishment of the old QEII Stadium at Nathan, which will provide 14,000 seats for the Olympic Games.
