Earlier this week, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) named South East Queensland (SEQ) as its preferred host for the 2032 Olympic Games. It is believed the IOC could formally award SEQ the games as early as July.
Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk says the IOC is impressed that it already has up to 90% of the needed venues, but she says the government is considering a new stadium for the opening and closing ceremonies. The lead proposal is to convert an inner-city greyhound and trotting track into a 50,000 seat stadium that would stage athletics and the opening and closing ceremonies.
