Statement from Acting Minister for State Development, Infrastructure and Planning

We welcome the Federal Government’s decision, which supports the Crisafulli Government to implement the 2032 Delivery Plan while managing any cultural heritage matters.

This is another step towards delivering a 2032 Games Queenslanders can be proud of.
 
New planning legislation introduced last year incorporates engagement and consultation as part of a comprehensive cultural heritage management plan.
 
These laws are working well and enable GIICA to progress the Brisbane Stadium and the wider delivery plan on time and on budget, with appropriate safeguards in place.

The Brisbane Stadium will deliver benefits long after the Games and along with other generational infrastructure across the state, will secure a winning legacy for Queensland.
