Western stand roof coverage looks a lot more improved. Eastern stand looks the same if not worse. Makes me wonder if the developer on that eastern side that opposed the height and roof configuration wants to be able to market their future apartments with stadium views. Would be an extremely poor outcome for the city and a bad use of public funds. Knocking off a bit of height from the stand makes sense, no idea what reducing the roof coverage would do though. They've been land banking since 2015 and haven't even submitted a DA.

Chinese-backed development firm called "SHMH4 Pty Ltd". Their opposition statement - “Based upon our review of the EIS and supporting documentation it is evident that this development will have adverse impacts upon the development of our client’s site by way of overshadowing, noise impacts, construction management and lighting.”

Would be funny if all the residents on Woodriff Street and Jamison Road put in the same objections when they finally submit a DA.

Original build was going to look like:

But how does lessening the roof coverage make any difference?

Just looks like an excuse to cheap out on the build even more.

Maybe it was a cost issue with the redesign

But they took the seats they lost on that stand and moved them to the other one

Looks like the stadium is going ahead one way or another in one of the 3 proposed locations.

As a local what's your view on where it should be?

Revamped Gabba with overpass from crossriver to stadium that consists of restaurants, outdoor areas above main road etc. buses and metro would service it as theres major stops there. main road, stanley and vulture would need major upgrades. close to south brisbane, south bank, kangaroo point and valley + eagle street pier opposite river

Victoria Park where old golf course was located with some sort of botanical gardens surrounding stadium? enough space but parking will be non existent due to hospital being right next to it and uni as well. public transport exists but only buses at the moment and would need upgrades. close to city, caxton precinct and new casino (relative).

Northshore hamilton where eat street currently is and a recently upgraded kingsford smith drive? opens up ferry transport but im not sure kingsford smith can take that much buses etc on event days without choking it to all traffic. close to city, valley, ferry can take you to casino

Surprised Alan Border Field in Albion hasn't been suggested, seems like lots of space... Plus that entire area behind breakfast creek hotel and up the breakfast creek desperately needs to be gentrified and fixed up.

I’m late on this discussion but just thought I’d say an upgraded Gabba makes sense. Between the lions, cricket and other events it will be well used and have plenty of big games.

My problem is if it sees a hugely expensive upgrade whilst Suncorp and rectangular grounds are left out. It’s clear that Brisbane needs a world class rectangular stadium with a bigger capacity.

Exicitng news out of todays Perth NRL expansion stories:

WA Govt funding would be worth $350 million-to-$500 million and would include a proposal to increase Perth’s rectangular HBF Stadium from a 22,500-seat venue to a 27,000-seat venue and upgrade the stadium’s facilities to ensure the new team could earn up to 70 per cent of its game-day revenue from corporate partnerships.
It’s a redevelopment plan that has long been called for by soccer and rugby union bodies. The funding also includes major infrastructure upgrades (Centre of excellence for the club).

assume the upgrade is conditional on Perth getting an NRL team
would get pretty good use between the 3 rectangular codes

Now that cricket has abandoned Brisbane in November, it will further strengthen opportunities for international Rugby League at this time.

The Matildas are also capitalising and will be filling Suncorp and Cbus Stadiums next week.

That new Penrith stadium is a joke.

So much for progress.

NSW govt ought to be ashamed of itself.

And because of where it’s located it’s hard to do more in the future. All because they wanted the site lined up for it to have apartments on it instead.

In an ideal world they’d struggle to win a seat in Penrith again but I think the community and club are too passive and carefree about the whole thing to actually understand the gravity of the situation.
