The Brisbane Olympics could go ahead without a new arena, but Games organisers remain hopeful the planned Woolloongabba venue will be ready in time to be in the mix for 2032.
A high-level International Olympic Committee delegation completed its three-day visit to south-east Queensland on Thursday, and gave its tick of approval to the planned Victoria Park stadium and aquatic centre after a site visit on Wednesday.
“It reminded me of going to the Royal Easter Show in Sydney [before 2000] and having to envisage there the swimming pool and the stadium, except that here you are in this park,” Olympic Games executive director Christophe Dubi said.
“What we saw yesterday was an incredible location … you have also this opportunity to have this venue and this number of spectators and creating that precinct atmosphere downtown.
