This has been a long-awaited announcement here in Queensland.
00:06
It's been a little over two weeks since the State Government first received this independent
00:09
100-day review into Olympic and Paralympic infrastructure for the 2032 Games.
00:15
And really as part of this proposal it will include not only the locations of these stadiums,
00:20
where the athletes are going to be held, as well as where exactly the improvements for
00:25
pre-existing infrastructure will be.
00:27
But really this stadium stoush has turned into a highly controversial topic here in
00:31
Queensland.
00:32
It even became a key election issue last year at the state election.
00:36
And this 100-day review was actually ordered by the LNP and delivered as a pre-election
00:40
promise.
00:41
Now while those details about what exactly this proposal will contain have been fairly
00:45
few and vague, what we do have is the suggestion that there could be potentially a Gabba rebuild.
00:51
However this would effectively mean that major sporting codes, including the Brisbane Lions
00:56
as well as the Queensland Cricket, could be displaced.
00:59
There's also been the suggestion that an entirely new stadium could be built, Victoria Park
01:03
being earmarked as that location.
01:05
However that would mean that the State Government would be going backwards on a pre-election
01:10
promise not to deliver any new stadiums.
01:13
Now one thing that we do know for certain, the Deputy Premier, Jarrod Blaise, spoke to
01:16
the media yesterday and confirmed that there would be no Queensland Sport and Athletics
01:20
Centre, or QSAC as it's known here in Queensland, which was originally the venue set to host
01:25
the athletics.
01:26
That's completely been canned from the possible plans.
01:29
He's also committed to making sure that the funding for these venues will be capped at
01:33
that $7.1 billion funding packet.
01:36
So lots there still to unpack, but effectively today is all about logistics.
01:40
The Deputy Premier will be joined alongside the Minister of the Paralympic and Olympic
01:45
Games, Tim Mander, where they'll be presenting this proposal to the frontbench.
01:50
And once it receives that tick of approval from Cabinet, we are expecting an official
01:54
announcement to be made sometime tomorrow, but effectively there should be a lot of fallout
01:58
and reaction, particularly amongst those key stakeholders here in Queensland.
