100-Day Review is Launched
The Queensland Government has released the Terms of Reference for a 100-day review examining the need for new infrastructure for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. This review will assess the practicality, cost-effectiveness, and community benefits of proposed developments, including the controversial 55,000-seat stadium in Victoria Park.
The review focuses on five key areas -
Infrastructure Needs: Evaluating whether new facilities are essential or if existing venues can be upgraded.
Affordability: Ensuring projects align with budget constraints and deliver value for money.
Deliverability: Assessing the feasibility of completing projects on time.
Legacy: Examining the long-term community benefits of any proposed infrastructure.
Sustainability: Considering the environmental impact of developments.
While the review promises independent oversight, concerns remain about the potential for decisions that could sacrifice green spaces like Victoria Park for short-term objectives. The community is encouraged to make their voices heard during this critical period.
