A new train station will be built beside Brisbane\u2019s 63,000-seat Olympic stadium in Victoria Park under plans outlined in leaked Queensland government documents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The commercial-in-confidence briefing, obtained by The Courier-Mail, also confirms for the first time the location of the $3.7 billion stadium at the southern end of Victoria Park, near the waterhole at Gilchrist Avenue and adjacent to the existing pedestrian bridge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Queensland Rail<\/a> has proposed a three-platform train station on the site of the current rollingstock wash facility next to the Inner City Bypass.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the documents, the station would serve as \u201ca key component of the precinct\u2019s integrated transport solution, enhancing accessibility, supporting future population growth and ensuring long-term economic and social value\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n

Brisbane Arena will now be pursued as a private sector-led development for infrastructure delivery, with state Treasurer David Janetzki announcing the creation of a dedicated Treasury unit.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve tasked Queensland Treasury to establish a dedicated unit to attract private capital to help deliver infrastructure projects needed for a growing state,\u201d he said on Tuesday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTreasury\u2019s transaction team will be up and running by August 1 to explore different models to deliver commercially for investors while delivering for taxpayers.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Victoria Park stadium location was backed by the independent 100-day review, which recommended the site due to its connections to Brisbane Metro, Exhibition Station, and proximity to Roma Street and Fortitude Valley stations.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
