Australia will build a 63,000-seat stadium and a plush indoor swimming venue for the 2032 Olympic Games in Brisbane, officials said Tuesday after shelving contentious earlier plans.
Queensland Premier David Crisafulli detailed a slew of Olympic upgrades that included the new Brisbane Stadium in the heart of the city, and an aquatic centre that could host 25,000 fans.
“Finally, Queensland has a plan. The time has come to just get on with it. And get on with it we will,” Crisafulli told reporters.
