The new stadium will replace the aging Gabba and host AFL, cricket, concerts, and the 2032 Olympic centerpiece, with nearly half the funding from the federal government.
- On Monday, Queensland Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie revealed concept renders for the 63,000-seat Victoria Park stadium by COX and Hassell with Azusa Sekkei, naming it Brisbane Stadium.

- Designers emphasise the stadium design will enable movement around the entire Victoria Park precinct and reflect its green-space setting in Queensland.
