Half of that is just the new sprinkler system to water the ground right before Lion's games.
How much was Optus all up?
$820.7m
Wow... imagine what 2.7b gets you then

I'm thinking the world's first fully retractable stadium. When there's nothing on it retracts into the ground and a park pops up.

So is the Gabba gonna be out of commission for a few years? Is Perth any chance of getting the opening test of the summer?
Ochre
:o
We had the opening test this summer, and I think we're meant to get the opening test v Pakistan next summer?

Outside of the Ashes, I'm not sure the opening test of the summer is worth much.

Lions gonna have any fans left after that?
Some context.
There’s a heritage listed primary school that will be dismantled and moved to a new site.
We have to do the rebuild sustainably. Apparently we have to reuse 90% of the materials from knocking down the current stadium.
They’re probably going to have to put the roads on the four sides of the stadium, underground.
They’re also apparently going to redevelop from the stadium all the way to South Bank.
Basically it’s like knocking down a whole inner city suburb and rebuilding it.
They’re also spending another $2.4 billion to build a new stadium on the Roma Street site.
Total current budget is north of $7billion.
There’s going to be a LOT of construction jobs here over the next 7 years.

These are so hauntingly beautiful.
Big discussions about that.
It’s going to keep a lot of people employed.
It’s going to remodel and rebuild two sides of inner Brisbane.
It’ll allow us upgrade a lot of our infrastructure.
Hopefully it pushes a lot businesses that don’t really need to be in the city, out to regional hubs, permanently.
They athletes village will become “affordable” aged care.
A lot of SEQ regional sports hubs are receiving significant upgrades, as a lot of the events won’t be in Brisbane.
That’s a big thing about the planning. Everything has to be ongoing legacy.29 Eerie Photos of Abandoned Olympic Venues

The Gabba will still be used for cricket and afl.
The new Roma street stadium will be used for concerts, expo’s etc. And be an entertainment hub.
Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, and Ipswich current sporting infrastructure is all going to upgraded.

It's a problem but half the photo's in that article are of facilities built for Berlin in 1936 and Sarajevo not long before the Bosnian war, not really a shock that they're not used anymore29 Eerie Photos of Abandoned Olympic Venues
