Whats with the constant Brigading by NIMBYs on this matter.
Having the Victoria park stadium and associated infrastructure will be far better for the city coming into the future, Majority of the park will still be greenspace.

Could have been stopped if people didn’t swallow the no new stadium lies.

They’ll never be happy. Regardless. Look at how beautiful the MCG is surrounded by parkland where kids have kick to kick after games, how vibrant it all is during legitimately every season. Why don’t we deserve that? Just turn the soil at this point.

NIMBYs are insane. Don’t live in a developing city if you don’t want development

I wouldn’t exactly call flat lawns and turf monoculture the “lungs of the city”. Maybe if it was all native bushland or was converted to gardens there may have been an argument for preserving it for ecological reasons.

Ask any city in the world if they could have such green space so close to the centre and they would say yes.

Not sure why they think “hilly and flat spaces” is unique. That describes pretty much most of brisbane.

But it was a private golf course until a few years ago

Fuck the boomer nimbys that don’t give a shit about the park or the environment, they want to live in low density mansions in the middle of the CBD and not be impacted by the same public infrastructure the rest of us are and use.
the ~~golf course~~ park in question with all of its ~~golf greens~~ beautiful mature trees

FFS, Just get the bulldozers in there – and get the thing done! No more wankerisms plzz…

Vote LNP and you’re voting for the sale of public assets and the development of public land for the benefit of them and their sponsors.
It was ever thus. This is “white shoe brigade” Mk II.
When you eventually see the (“no new”) stadium, you’ll realise it’s actually a new commercial precinct with a stadium perched on top.

Anyone else feel like we’re going to run out of time? This govt needs to get going doesn’t it? Once you factor in the usual construction (union) delays we’ll be building for a decade.

If it wasn’t a golf course it would already be developed. Brisbane has a lot of green space it’s not exactly New York. Go to the bay, go to the coast, enjoy Southbank, the botanic gardens or the Roma street parklands, go to mt cootha that’s next to the city, go to the country take that 30min drive from the city centre to a rural feeling area or if you go to mt cootha you can be in the bush in 10mins from the city. This patch of grass is as significant as any other piece of land the difference is no one cared about it until they wanted to put something on it. Don’t waste your time protesting it or thinking about it if you hate it because it’s happening nothing is going to stop it. Instead why dot you go to the bay, go to the coast re read from the top lol

I just want to know where a new driving range will be built with this and Oxley one closing. We need ranges and a stadium

The change to Freehold land is a pretty big concern and good point. Like build the stadium but the remaining land should stay in trust!

Look the ideal plan was the Gabba upgrade but we didn’t get that and I think Vic Park is our best option. Can we just go ahead and build it now?

Crazy that public land gets turned into private for the purpose of an expensive vanity project and peoples reactions are “good”. Brisbanians everywhere are suffering from Olympics Stockholm syndrome.

The number of people that seem to trust the LNP and property developers to do the right thing by this beautiful green space and the people of Brisbane blows my mind. All for a concrete, steel and glass monolith, of which people will need to pay an increasingly obscene amount of money just to have the privilege to enter. ‘Progress’ sometimes means having the foresight to leave things alone.

OP was advocating we use the old (their own description! have a look) QEII stadium at Nathan instead.
Can we just move forward with things now without the NIMBY drama..

Embarrassing. Just start building

I’ll have a whinge, I use the golf range and the restaurant there quite often, it is a beautiful place where they also host weddings and functions, also a nice place for a walk. It’s shit, because the hundreds of people that use it daily have to find somewhere new, and the people who work there will lose their jobs, I won’t have a golf range within 30 minutes of my house, I won’t have a relaxing, decent walk that doesn’t have fast food or alcohol consumption forced into my eyeballs every 5 meters….within 30 minutes of my house, so I’ll go to the local playing fields and drive balls into people’s backyards and then we’ll see who the whinging cunts are.
