Lone finalist for Brisbane Games stadium build announced
The companies in the consortium have delivered a host of stadiums including Lang Park, the Gabba, Melbourne's Docklands stadium and Penrith Stadium in Sydney.
Brisbane's sole contender to construct the 2032 Olympic Victoria Park stadium, a $3.6 billion project as part of the $7.1 billion infrastructure plan, is BESIX Watpac and John Holland. The joint venture, comprising two companies with a history of delivering notable stadiums, was announced as the exclusive builder to advance to the final stage of contract negotiations.
Earthworks have already commenced on the site, which was transferred to the Games Independent Infrastructure and Coordination Authority in June. Premier David Crisafulli emphasized the importance of the decision, stating that it was crucial to finalize the contracts and prevent cost overruns while ensuring the stadium remains a valuable investment for Queensland.
