The location in Victoria Park of the new Brisbane Stadium has been determined – and is shown in a new image unveiled today.
The image shows it taking a central position in the park, with one side running along Gilchrist Avenue – freeing up the north east of the park for spectators to walk to the Herston Metro station, the new railway station at the RNA, and walkways through the precinct to Fortitude Valley.
The stadium will be “embedded into the existing topography” and feature a playing surface the same size as the behemoth Melbourne Cricket Ground.
The field will be orientated in an east-west configuration after talks with AFL and cricket and analysis of sun position, wind and the stadium footprint.
Preparatory works will start when the land tenure is transferred to the Games Independent Infrastructure and Coordination Authority in June.
The new details come as Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie marks 12 months since the government released its 2032 Delivery Plan.
Mr Bleijie will use an address to the Queensland Media Club on Wednesday to reveal work would soon start on a number of Games venues.
“Exactly 12 months since the Crisafulli Government unveiled its 2032 Delivery Plan, we’ve achieved significant momentum already,” he said.
“To get the Games back on track, we’ve been working calmly and methodically, but also quickly to lock in details and appointments, and getting boots, tractors and drills on the ground for our 2032 and beyond venues, which will deliver generational and city-shaping infrastructure and economic benefits.
“History shows that the true value of the Games is not measured in the weeks of competition. It’s in the decades of prosperity that follow.
“Cities around the world have used the Games as a catalyst to unlock urban renewal, accelerate infrastructure investment and reshape entire precincts.”
Federal Infrastructure Minister Catherine King said landmark venues and surrounding infrastructure would be worthy homes and major drawcards for the state’s sporting and cultural events long after the Brisbane 2032 Games.

Architecturally, it's a bit uninspiring from the inside. Also transparent/translucent roofing is pretty shit in our climate - anyone who's sat underneath a dodgy patio with polycarbonate roofing know how hot it can still get.
That’s looks cool
Probably saving it for the actual speech he'll give today to the media club
anywhere to watch it I cant see anything anywhere
Not that I'm aware of yet. It's normally uploaded to the Qld Media Club youtube afterwarss though
Yes, a different spot then they indicated when doing a media release not all that long ago at QUT Kelvin Grove.
Some stills from that great flyover video.

I have been for a walk through Vic Park a few times over the last year or so, I'm trying to get my bearings though, anyway you could mark where the current driving range is S5... and the proposed Olympic pool location?
It seems to be centred on the fairway next to the driving range, not on the driving range itself. It's where I thought looked like the most sensible spot in terms of topography, until I was swayed by talk of it being slightly further west.
The star is where I thought it would go after my last visit a few months ago, I reckon it's going to be a little south of where the strange rabbit thing is.
I think the bridge in the render is the existing bridge going over the busway to enter the golf facility carpark.
