A Brisbane Olympics boss has called on people to argue their case for a new stadium despite the Queensland government opposing it. However, 2032 Games organising committee CEO Cindy Hook is confident the Brisbane infrastructure rollout will be sustainable and deliver legacy impacts. Queensland Premier Steven Miles has come under fire for disregarding an independent review’s key recommendations before finalising an Olympic infrastructure plan.
“Let us get that information and study it, analyse it and from there we’ll say ‘These are the things that have to be met’,” she said. Asked if she felt the state government had failed to finalise the 2032 outlook, Hook said the committee was “moving on a plan that the premier has laid out”. “We’ve got to sort this thing out on QSAC and the Gabba, but don’t underestimate all the other great things that the government has committed to that are already in motion,” she said.
