A great first-person commentary by Zach Hope on some limitations of the old #Gabba stadium, which is nearing end-of-life. Back of house is also challenging and the improvements promised by the new stadium are very exciting. @brisbanetimes #brisbane2032 brisbanetimes.com.au/politic…

The endless gripes of a cantankerous Gabba traveller

Don’t let anyone tell you the Gabba only needs “a lick of paint” – like the elderly and disabled trying to access its upper reaches, it has a mountain of problems to conquer.

The @brisbanelions support a #QLD sports museum at the Gabba, but best practice will be to also put a lot more memorabilia on public display thorughout the historic venue. Adelaide Oval is the benchmark - lets immerse fans in our sporting history. #Brisbane2032 #brisbanelions

Architects propose a timber Gabba to reference #QLD vernacular architecture and lower the stadium's embodied carbon. It's a good idea and far more feasible than returning the #Gabba hill on such a tight footprint! #Brisbane2032 #brisbanelions theurbandeveloper.com/articl…

Pretty chuffed that @WarrnamboolCity has won the top @AFL gong for their redevelopment of Reid Oval. Good to see a famous footy nursery being acknowledged for its investment in quality facilities to support the growth of our game. #AFL #Warrnambool warrnambool.vic.gov.au/afl-n…

AFL names Reid Oval best new community facility

Pleased to see Andrew Dillon appointed as the new CEO of the #AFL. Intelligent, principled and understands well the development strategies needed to further grow the game in emerging markets like #QLD.

Just a non-Lions comment, but those @GWSGIANTS Never Surrender guernseys are elite. Looking to attract fans? Wear these as often as possible. #bigbigsound

Good to read some optimistic commentary about #Brisbane2032 and the opportunites the Games will bring. It's a big driver for #SEQ to collaborate and coordinate to solve challenges facing our city, which can be Australia's most exiting and liveable. brisbanetimes.com.au/nationa…

Lighten up, people. The Olympics will be magnificent

More than 5 billion sets of eyeballs will be trained on south-east Queensland in a showcase of our capabilities, friendliness and liveability. Enough of the cynicism, let’s get excited.

Station Square proposal will significantly densify #Woolloongabba and activate a tired stretch of Stanley Street. It will demand quality public realm upgrades in the PDA - particularly parkland - & improved public spaces in the new Gabba. brisbanetimes.com.au/nationa… #brisbane

$1.2 billion complex planned for Gabba in major pre-Olympic investment

Station Square will include apartment and office towers, a retail plaza, and a five-star hotel with direct access to public transport and the Olympic stadium.

1/3 Hey @Luttsy, loving your #TowardTheGames podcast. I have an iconic, precinct-shaping idea that I would love you and Chris give your opinion on: #QldGovt to plan an urban surf park at the heart of the Northshore athletes' village. Selling #SEQ's lifestyle on a global stage...

3/3 Reliable training venue and backup Games venue for surfing if Snapper isn't pumping. Village developer could deliver the surfpark as a PPP within the Northshore PDA. Strong local #Brisbane and visitor business model and close to airport & cruise ship terminal. #Brisbane2032
