Councillor takes aim at loss of $80m stadium upgrade

 A recently retired Toowoomba councillor has slammed the loss of $80m to upgrade the city’s only stadium for the 2032 Olympic Games, calling the furore around it an “unholy row” that focused on the needs of “a small number of people”.Megan O’Hara Sullivan, who last month finished as a councillor after two terms with the TRC, was one of the most vocal supporters of the now-scrapped plan for the Toowoomba Sports Ground.The project had been included in the program of works for the 2032 Brisbane games, but was pulled by the government in March following a damning review of current venues by former Brisbane Lord Mayor Graham Quirk.
