Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games venues: New Victoria Park stadium headlines in-progress list

The Queensland government has unveiled its plans for a brand new stadium for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games, while providing details about a number of other venues.

Since Brisbane was awarded the Games in 2021, the Gabba and the Queensland Sport and Athletics Centre have been announced as the main venues for the Olympics.

Following the completion of a new 100-day review, asked for by the LNP government after last year's state election win, it appears the third Olympics on Australian soil is ready to take shape.

Below is the list of venues announced for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games so far.
