Three proposals, three locations for Victoria Park stadium
Another plan for a Victoria Park stadium has come to light, as the Games Independent Infrastructure and Co-ordination Authority continues its work to select a suitable location. The Crisafulli government gave the Victoria Park stadium the green light in March, but its exact location within the 64-hectare site was still to be determined. Brisbane firm Blight Rayner Architecture has suggested the stadium be located in the north-east corner of the park, closest to the RNA Showgrounds and the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital. The Blight Rayner concept was submitted to former lord mayor Graham Quirk's 60-day Olympic venue review and uncovered in a Right to Information request from Save Victoria Park, the community group committed to preventing the stadium's construction within the parkland. It was the third known vision for the site in the public realm, all of which position the stadium in different sections of Victoria Park. Archipelago's high-profile Brisbane Bold proposal had the stadium a little further south, near the Inner City Bypass, while an artistic render released by the Crisafulli government in its 2032 Delivery Plan positioned the stadium in the south-west corner of the park. 'I'm not sure why the government one was slightly further down into the park,' Blight Rayner director Michael Rayner told this masthead. 'It may have been a concern over the acoustics – I don't know – but that's yet to be tested.'
