[Section 5]

Well there are plans. That's literally what the documentation prepared by Archipelago and Steven Wilson are. They are plans.

I concede Archipelago do have a plan,
I went to their website and dug deeper.
I know you are really keen on Brisbane Bold going ahead.
I just don't see it happening though.

You probably have seen this interactive version on their website but i will put up the link anyhow. It's quite good.
Others may like to have a look.
At the bottom Layout, Diagrams load quickly, and each has sections that pop up on the right to click on.
Animation also good. It is like a flyover with a few stops along the way.
Masterplan & Power point took a while to load on my PC. The masterplan is quite good to view and gives more detail.

I agree. It's too good and makes too much sense. It'll never get through all the red tape. I mean it didn't even get addressed in the Quirk review.

Thanks for sharing the link.

The plans I've seen are concept plans. They are designed to illicit excitment and discussions, but from my limited knowledge they rarely survive unscathed through repeated review processes.

I was unable to open the Tim Mander talk.

Regarding Anika Wells.
If she is a big Lions fan that may in fact work against us.
It could be viewed as being a conflict of interest even though cricket is involved
That may be why in her reply to my email in March she basically put it back on the Qld Government.
She mentioned something like:
I have had no request from the Qld government to alter the agreement.
At present we are committed to the $2.5 billion maximum towards the Brisbane Arena venue.
Although any change to the agreement, the Commonwealth would have to approve the change.

Search Tim mander stadium interview on Google then click the videos tab, about 5 options from different sites should pop up.

The lions are clever and obviously getting close to Wells, she was on the ground when the cup got presented on GF day, about 20m from them lifting the cup celebrating.

I've got a feeling the afl might have told the libs in their meeting pre election that they should get the feds involved. Christifulli stated in his phone call to albo 'he mentioned speak to anika wells and she's a Queenslander so hopefully we can get a good result there' (or something along those lines).

I don't think it'd be seen as a conflict of interest, especially when you have Albanese an NRL super fan funding 600 mil to png and 40 mill to an alliance for his own Newtown jets, along with miles being a Broncos fan pulling out an unneeded $1 billion upgrade for Suncorp. She is too low profile for anyone to care.

On her email to you she had no reason to engage at that stage, because the feds didn't have a dog in the fight. They chose not to get involved with the stadium build, again that was likely an Albanese decision.
