Townsville To Be Transformed Into Maroons Fortress If State Of Origin Is Moved From COVID Ravaged Melbourne 30/05/2021

Townsville would be transformed into a Maroons fortress with thousands of extra stadium seats and an entertainment strip to rival Caxton Street …if the State of Origin series opener is moved from COVID-ravaged Melbourne. Convention centres will be used as mass vaccination hubs, with the Queensland Government this week enabling planning processes to be streamlined ahead of the rollout later this year. The State Government will give away a year of free public transport …to entice workers back to the city. And Brisbane is in the midst of a renovation boom with almost 2000 projects and new builds started across the city in the past nine months. For updates and breaking news throughout the day, take out a subscription at COURIERMAIL.com.au/
