    Hobart Stadium: $750 million cost

    Thats correct. They rely too heavily on revenue from the commonwealth as i pointed out. Even with that revenue stream which they have no control over, they still find themselves in a bad debt situation. In other words even with the majority of their revenue coming from the Commonwealth...

    Hobart Stadium: $750 million cost

    You obviously believe and that's your prerogative: 1- A new team and new Stadium in Tasmania is needed 2- It is affordable to Tasmanians 3- If built it will pay for itself. I am not about to go back and forth with you. I have no idea about your posting history. Any figures i quoted are either...

    Hobart Stadium: $750 million cost

    Your first part is just weird and does not deserve a reply. The second. Wow That may have slipped my mind, NOT So, Tasmania pays what could be a total of around $1.5 billion divided by a population of 576,000. that they can't afford. And the rest of Australia's population of 27.5 million (that...

    Hobart Stadium: $750 million cost

    ** Well it is an agreement binding all parties. The AFL will pay their commitment if everything falls into place The agreement is subject to lots of other things like a roof and 50% penalties if not finished on time. The AFL outsmarted the state government. If things don't progress as agreed...

    Hobart Stadium: $750 million cost

    The AFL have only committed $15 million into the stadium construction. A token amount really. The other $360 million of AFL funds come after its construction and over a decade. The federal government would defiantly come to partly funding redevelopment of the other grounds. As long as the...

    Hobart Stadium: $750 million cost

    Regarding posters who think the Tasmania government should just go ahead and make the city relevant in the sporting world or the world in general. That's all well and good but have those posters considered where Tasmania gets their revenue from. WA and Queensland get huge revenue from big...

    Hobart Stadium: $750 million cost

    And yet they are playing there already. Not that i agree about Victorian teams playing in Tasie in the first place. The two teams playing in the state is also costing the Tasmanian government money They of course argue it boost tourism in the area. It does, but overall is it worth the outlay...

    Hobart Stadium: $750 million cost

    The lower house probably pass any vote on the stadium. Labor should change their stance purely on the proposed debt issue, but they probably won't. Hopefully it will be rightly rejected by the upper house. Tasmania's debt level is getting bad and a new stadium will make it worse. Tasmanian...

    Hobart Stadium: $750 million cost

    The audio part in the article link below placed more of a point about the State Government having to find $785 million of the $1.1 billion needed. But the premier assured Tasmanians they have capped their spending at $375 million. Before it even starts it is short $410 million. Less what they...

    Victoria Park Olympic Stadium (Brisbane 2032)

    The Exhibition station is usually only used for the Brisbane EKKA and some other events during the year. It's not a regular station on the network. It will be when Cross River Rail project is finished later 2025. They are in the final stages of finishing a major rebuild of Exhibition Station, so...

    Victoria Park Olympic Stadium (Brisbane 2032)

    A few key things have changed in the new 100-day review that were not in the old one from Labor government. They can now look for private or joint private/ government funding models. this will/may solve all their finance problems The old 60-day review specifically excluded sports not yet...

    Machinery needed a ramp to go over the dog track for cricket Things eventually improved. The question is what will happen now with the Olympics 7/8 years away. ...................................................................................... On Friday 1 December 1978 a crowd of 14,026...

    Victoria Park Olympic Stadium (Brisbane 2032)

    Hope you had a great time in Paris. It would have been a great experience. Buses can go just about anywhere so i think Brisbane will probably rent/borrow more from interstate. Never been to Paris so i searched the Paris metro. It is rated as very good with 308 stations on 16 lines. At a guess...

    Victoria Park Olympic Stadium (Brisbane 2032)

    I am sure the government of the day will ask people to holiday during the Olympic month. At present there is 50cent public transport but that may not still be around in 2032. However, they should offer free public transport during the Olympics Getting around Brisbane in public transport is...

    The bolded That bolded part was taken from the Quirk review. Quirk said that. The way you have it in your post gives the impression that Crisafulli said that. He did not. However, the first two paragraphs you quoted are from Crisafulli.

    Victoria Park Olympic Stadium (Brisbane 2032)

    I have not visited this thread for some time, but it is good to see posters thoughts whether i agree or not. The build costs appear to be extremely high at over the $3 billion mark for both The Gabba & Victoria Park It just seems way to high comparing to say the Perth stadium being Australia's...

    The 'Gabba (Brisbane Cricket Ground)

    My opinion is The Gabba will soon be the best location for AFL and Cricket by a big margin. Cross river rail and the new Brisbane Metro buses running every 5 minutes plus the other usual bus routes that presently run through Woolloongabba bus station will come online in about 7 months. The...

    Victoria Park Olympic Stadium (Brisbane 2032)

    Maybe add The Gabba in brackets to the title as the LNP and ALP have both stated there will be no new stadium. Or amalgamate the two threads. The Queensland Premier Miles latest quote. "Continue to invest there (Gabba)" "New plan to do more incremental upgrades." in regard to The Gabba. The...

    Victoria Park Olympic Stadium (Brisbane 2032)

    CSG in 11: Personally, i would not believe anything that is so called "reported". Even if they have been briefed it should be ignored just like the John Coats proposal after he had a meeting with the committee. Coats proposal was also outside the Terms of Reference. We will just have to see...

    Victoria Park Olympic Stadium (Brisbane 2032)

    I have mentioned on the Lions board Victoria Park will not be considered by the review committee. Victoria Park is one of 5 temporary venues for the Olympics see image below. Under the "Terms of Reference" set by the Qld Government the Review committee should not even be looking at Victoria...

    The 'Gabba (Brisbane Cricket Ground)

    I have mentioned before that Victoria Park is a heritage listed site. Having the BMX and Equestrian events at Victoria Park will be designed around the hilly terrain. This will have minimal effect on the parkland and will not affect the parklands master plan. Also, both are temporary Olympic...

    The 'Gabba (Brisbane Cricket Ground)

    Bolded. In my opinion there are no "alternate and better options?" than The Gabba. ** Bolded. Yes, someone could put Victoria Park as an alternative, but it still sits outside the focus venues, and is heritage listed. People have mentioned there are ways around heritage listed sites but that...

    The 'Gabba (Brisbane Cricket Ground)

    I sent in three suggestions to the review committee. One had nothing to do with The Gabba and the other 2 were interconnected to each other. Posted them in full on Lions BF page 104 ……………………………………………….. Below is a brief summary so as not to murky the waters so to speak. Brisbane Arena $2.5...

    The 'Gabba (Brisbane Cricket Ground)

    Would just like to mention (again) that the review panels decision has to be within the terms of reference. Any new site will not be considered (well should not be anyhow). The panel focus is to only look at venue listed as "new" and "upgraded". So, no looking at large enough land spaces close...

    The 'Gabba (Brisbane Cricket Ground)

    I doubt it was on the Qld. Governments behalf. Premier Miles was smart in calling for a review as there are quite a few things that can be changed. Miles should have stipulated when calling for the review that the Queensland Governments total funding for the games will be unchanged. Where that...

    The 'Gabba (Brisbane Cricket Ground)

    The Courier Mail got the exclusive from Coates after he met with the 3 review committee members. All other media basically a copy and paste from that. The ABC at least tried to contact Coates but he just referred them to his statement. The thing is Coates suggestions are not within the "Terms...

    Hobart Stadium: $750 million cost

    Your local knowledge of Launceston is better than mine. I just googled population and those were the results. However, the Stadium is to be in Hobart anyhow and the population of Tasmania would only be around the 600,000 mark in 2024. Below ABS figures from the last census in 2021. Regarding...

    Hobart Stadium: $750 million cost

    I have been against the Tasmania push over the years, mostly by x retires AFL players. In my opinion the AFL needs less teams not more, but they will push ahead most likely to 20 teams. Sponsorship dollars will be extremely hard to come by in Tasmania with such a small population. I just don't...

    The 'Gabba (Brisbane Cricket Ground)

    I think a lot of Lions members have the same preferences as you. I would love to see the plans for BHA expansion to 25k as per the CM attachment. Even a 20k one would be helpful to us members to form an opinion. The club never made the plans public to my knowledge. Either way the Lions don't...

    The 'Gabba (Brisbane Cricket Ground)

    There are no good venue outcomes for the Lions during the 4 seasons away from The Gabba. From that point on for the next 30+ years, now that will be a different story. I am not sure if you have ever been to Brighton Homes Arena (BHA). Capacity 10,000 with a 600-seat grandstand that normal fans...
