Victoria Park Precinct Draft Legacy Plan
This draft plan sets out how the Victoria Park Precinct can grow into a more accessible, better-connected community hub for Brisbane. With open space, easier ways to get around and new places to gather, play and experience the city.
The 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games are a chance to create an iconic Brisbane destination that people will enjoy, use and value long after the event.
Whether it’s a morning walk, a ride through the park, time outdoors with family and friends, or the buzz of a big game, the aim is to create a place people feel drawn to - somewhere that’s easy to reach, welcoming to all and becomes part of everyday life.

What’s included in the plan
All images are artist's impressions only. The new Brisbane Stadium and National Aquatic Centre are part of the $7.1 billion 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games Venues Infrastructure Program jointly funded by the Australian Government and Queensland Government.
It brings together several major projects into one connected precinct:
-
Brisbane Stadium
A new major venue for sport and entertainment
-
National Aquatic Centre
A state-of-the-art facility for swimming and community use
-
Brisbane Showgrounds upgrades
Including the future Brisbane Athletes Village, later becoming housing
-
Parklands and public spaces
Expanded and open to everyone
Importantly, around two-thirds of Victoria Park will remain green and public space, featuring open areas, expanded wetlands and places to relax and play in nature.
Together, these elements create a place that works for major events and everyday life.
The future park
The plan is built around five key landscape areas, each with its own purpose:
-
Wetlands
Restored waterways and green areas that support nature, manage stormwater and provide peaceful places to relax.
-
Forest
Shaded areas with trees and pathways, designed for everyday use, biodiversity and cooler spaces.
-
Ridgelines
Higher areas with views, walking paths and places to gather, connect and enjoy the landscape.
-
Community gateways
Welcoming entry points that connect the park to surrounding neighbourhoods and make it easier to access.
-
Venue commons
Open public spaces around key venues, used for events, recreation and community activities.
These areas work together to create a park that is diverse, accessible and easy to explore.
Getting around
A major focus of the plan is making it easier to move through and around the precinct.
This includes:
- new walking and cycling connections
- better access to trains and bus services
- improved links to nearby areas like the city, Kelvin Grove and Fortitude Valley.
The result will be a more connected Victoria Park Precinct, whether you’re walking, riding, catching public transport or travelling on to somewhere else.
