About the project

Brisbane Olympic Stadium is the centerpiece venue for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, set within Victoria Park (Barrambin) in inner-city Brisbane. Delivered by the Games Independent Infrastructure and Coordination Authority for the Queensland Government, the 63,000-seat stadium — expandable to roughly 70,000 for concerts — embeds into the park's natural topography with a subtropical, shade-and-breeze design. Conceived as a “stadium in the landscape,” it will host the opening and closing ceremonies and athletics before serving as Brisbane's primary legacy stadium.
