As per the reports, for the 2032 Summer Games, the Gabba stadium will be demolished and rebuilt. On Friday, Steven Miles, Queensland’s Deputy Premier, confirmed that it will be redeveloped, and the government has also accepted the proposal. The renovated stadium will also have a much bigger seating capacity, which will increase to 50,000 at once.

It will also connect the new underground rail station to the state’s cricket headquarters. For the relocation, a local primary school will be relocated, which will increase the area of the stadium. The cricket team and the local football club will also be relocated during the renovation phase. Gabba will host its last test match in 2025, which will be an Ashes test before heading for the renovation. The estimated time for renovation will be four years, and it will be ready before 2030.

Miles said, “That project validation report assessed four possible options for the Gabba and identified that a demolition and rebuild provided the best possible outcome, the best value outcome for the city. It will be a well-connected stadium but most importantly, it will trigger the urban renewal that we want to see … it will be one of the best parts of the city to live in.” The selection of Brisbane as the host for the 2032 Olympic Games was made in July 2021. This will become the third Australian city to host the Olympic Games. Melbourne in 1996 and Sydney in 2000 have hosted it earlier.
