News Gabba Upgrade & Olympics News

Near closing time so another old proposal has been sent to the authority.

For a global firm to send a submission pretty much the same as they did to Quirk is a bit on the cheap side.

Not sure if the link will open. The proposed site is the Mayne Rail Yards.

Oh good grief, it's way too late for that now. They already put millions into redoing the yard.

They have just spent big money and 2 years upgrading this area in readiness for CRR.
This section of CRR completed 12 months ago. Not sure why they have even submitted the plan.

To get free advertising. The suckers in the media will be happy to put their company's name out there to get themselves an easy story.

Most likely you would have to build a new railyard first, so the transition could go as smoothly as possible.
Then start demolishing the old one. Then build this proposed big project.

Pretty much. The whole exercise would probably take ten years from start to finish. We don't have ten years.

It would not surprise me they just want their name being put out there as you say.
No doubt the Mayne Rail Yard area is reasonably close to the CBD and in the future would be way more valuable than somewhere 10klm out from the city.
Most likely they may get involved when a decision is made on the stadium location, and a procurement process begins.
It look's look like they do some big projects worldwide.
They only opened an Australian office in 2019 in Sydney

I can't wait until Save Victoria Park start protesting on the ground that it will disrupt the ibis colony living in York's Hollow.

They've taken notes from "Rethink the Gabba" and they're currently lobbying for a school to be set up there in the next few weeks so they can complain about how far the kids would have to travel to the next school over.

Pity Kelvin Grove State College is there already. Was hoping that it was originally part of the parkland but the first school was built there in 1875 at the same time the park was gazetted according to a search. I would be OK with demolishing some of the QUT campus for parkland though.

The Save Albert Park group is still exists and protesting 30 years later

Something to look forward to
