A new proposal for an Olympic stadium in Brisbane has emerged, promising not to come at a cost to taxpayers. The plan is turning the attention from the city of light back to the river city, with a new stadium proposed for the North Shore. It would boast waterfront views with the city as a backdrop in time for Brisbane 2032, as well as being a new home for the Brisbane Lions. The 60,000-seat stadium would be privately funded and will include warm-up facilities, a 2500-apartment athletes’ village, a hotel, aquatic center, and hospitality zone. It is hoped to be designed by a collective of the world’s top architectural firms behind some of the best stadiums around the globe. The stadium would be opened by 2031 but, in order for that to happen, works would need to begin in the next two years.
“What we want to suggest is there’s a different way,” HKS director Andrew Colling said. “We think it’s an opportunity to give a bit of tender love and care to the side of the city we’ve maybe neglected over the last 20 to 30 years.”
