After a state government denial that it sought advice on scrapping the Games, Andrew Liveris said Qld had to get on with “delivering the best and biggest event on earth”.
The head of Brisbane 2032 says Queensland needs to get on with Olympic preparations after the state government was forced to deny it sought advice on cancelling the Games.
The review said a QSAC revamp would cost $1.6 billion, but it was “very hard to justify” and did not demonstrate value for money. It believed building a $3.4 billion Victoria Park stadium in Brisbane’s CBD as the 2032 centrepiece would be a better legacy project. “We were committed to 85 per cent of the venues either being in place or temporary – that’s the new norm of the Olympics – and we are indeed the smallest place to ever put these Games on,” he said.
