Kirk Studio Architects GABBA Stadium proposal - The Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games will one of the most important events for Brisbane and Queensland in our States 155 year history. The Olympic stadium is traditionally the centre piece of the games and legacy venues, however currently this is a contentious issue in Brisbane. There is one obvious solution for the Queensland Olympic Stadium and its hiding in plain sight, right next door to the Gabba Stadium. The Woolloongabba Cross River Rail (CRR) site is a major piece of land sitting opposite the existing Gabba Stadium, the site is Government owned, it is basically empty and is the most accessible site in the City with the soon to be completed Cross River Rail Station - let us call this site ‘Gabba West.’ The existing Stadium is ‘Gabba East.’ The ‘Gabba West’ site is larger than the ‘Gabba East’ site, is vacant and seemingly has no other purpose planned - it allows the existing Gabba Stadium to operate throughout the new build and then this existing stadium can provide the warm-up, support and ancillary functions, during the 2032 Olympic period. Importantly the ‘Gabba West’ site already has the major transport infrastructure in place - unlike all the other speculative siting options proposed. Picture Kirk Studio
