The Breakfast Creek/Newstead Raceway will be the site of a new major indoor sports centre ahead of the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, with the state government confirming the site, saying the venue would be a “a great new sporting facility that will service the Queensland community for decades to come”.
“The proposed new Indoor Sports Centre will be a 12-court high-performance, para-sporting Centre that will host local, national and international sporting events including basketball, wheelchair basketball, wheelchair rugby, netball, volleyball and badminton,” said Deputy Premier Steven Miles.
“Work on the master plan for the mixed-use community precinct at Albion is continuing, including increasing indoor and outdoor sporting facilities, open green space and housing.”
The venue would also play host to the Olympic basketball and Paralympic wheelchair basketball at the Brisbane 2032 Games.
The new venue is one of the sporting facilities which fall under the state and federal government’s joint $1.87bn Games venue deal, which means it would be a shared cost – but the total cost of the venue has not yet been revealed.
