Location of Brisbane's Victoria Park stadium for 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games unveiled

The new stadium being built for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games at Victoria Park will be situated in a "central position" near Gilchrist Avenue.

The Queensland government will reveal the precise location of the 63,000-seat arena on Wednesday, as well as unveil the first early designs of the stadium.

The images feature the interior of the stadium, including shaded seating, giant digital screens, and a cantilevered roof.

The size and shape of the field of play will be equivalent in size to the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

Preparatory works to build the stadium will also kick off soon, once the land is transferred to the Games Independent Infrastructure and Coordination Authority (GIICA) on June 1.

Earlier this year, the government announced it had selected Australian firms Cox and Hassell to design the stadium, alongside Japanese group Azusa Sekkei.

The firms worked on Perth's Optus Stadium and redeveloped the Adelaide Oval and the MCG.

The government has confirmed the arena will be located in a "central position" near Gilchrist Avenue — in a bid to connect it to existing transport infrastructure.

The north-eastern zone of the park is expected to feature a convergence of spectator entry points for the sporting precinct.

The stadium is slated to cost about $3.6 billion, and forms part of the $7.1 billion infrastructure plan for the 2032 Games.

It will also have an east-west configuration, which the government says was decided upon following discussions with the AFL and cricket.

The arena will play host to the athletics, as well as the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2032 Games.

The LNP promised not to build a new stadium for the Games during the 2024 state election campaign.

Premier David Crisafulli has previously apologised for breaking the pledge.

GIICA recommended the construction of a stadium at Victoria Park in its 100-day review of Games infrastructure.

The move is opposed by local group Save Victoria Park, who say they want the green space preserved for future generations.

The Gabba, which was once flagged as the main stadium under Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk, is set to be demolished following the 2032 Games to make way for urban renewal.
