Australia said on Monday that it revised its plans for several billion dollars to host the 2032 summer Olympic Games in Brisbane after years of “chaos and crisis”.
The new plan, including a new 60,000 -seat stadium, rewrites a large part of an aus infrastructure program of $ 7.0 billion (4.4 billion US dollars) announced two years ago.
“I believe that we have a plan that can recover the show on the road,” said Queensland Prime Minister David Crisafulli, to journalists on the eve of the official unveiling of the new program.
“This is a plan to ensure that we deliver generational infrastructure, and it is a plan to make sure that we organize big games when the eyes of the world are on us,” said the conservative head of state.
“Even the most partisan person, looking at where we are right now, would recognize that it’s been three years of chaos and crisis since we received the Games.”
The capital of Queensland received the summer Olympic Games and the paralympic games of 2032 in July 2021, returning the matches to Australia for the third time after Melbourne 1956 then Sydney 2000.
Two years ago, the state government government on the left announced its intention to extend the famous Cricket Gabba field and create a new interior stadium of 17,000 places for the Games.
But the Australian media, including Brisbane Mail mailsaid that the plans for the Gabba and the new revised stadium should now be rebuilt.
In total, six of the 14 previously planned Brisbane Game Sites had to be modified or chopped, the Mail mail said.
The new plan would probably include a new stadium of 60,000 places to build in Victoria Park in the city, said the newspaper.
Crisafulli said he had discussed the planned plan with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, whose Labor government faces the general elections in May.
The federal government was committed to paying a large part of the Brisbane Games infrastructure in the previous program.
“Of course, there were strong negotiations,” said Crisafulli at a joint press conference with the Australian Prime Minister.
“Two people of Italian origin, you would expect it,” he said. “But there is nothing that cannot be resolved by a little common sense and a cannoli.”
