If the plan is for QSAC to be good enough to host annual World Athletics events then it is worth the spend.
So much can be done with QSAC. It should be turned into a boutique athletics stadium and host World Athletics events and international speedway.
The whole point about the u-turn on the overpriced, wrong shape 'olympic' stadium proposal's was to get better value for the taxpayer's dollar and not have diamond plated solutions for a 2 week event that won't suit the brisbane population for the next 20 years.
If it brings more major athletic events to Brisbane then yes, it is.
And for rugby league hopefully

Well that’s all very unexcitingWests Tigers have confirmed where the club will be playing its NRL home games over the next three years.
CommBank Stadium will host four Wests Tigers home games in 2025, 2026 and 2027.
Campbelltown Sports Stadium will host four games in 2025 and 2026, with an option for the 2027 season.
Leichhardt Oval will host three home games plus the team’s last trial match, in 2025 and 2026, with an option for the 2027 season.
Wests Tigers will continue to support the NRL’s Magic Round with a home game to be played as part of the Brisbane extravaganza in 2025, 2026 and 2027.
The club has arrived at this three-year stadium policy after months of detailed planning, consultation, customer research and negotiations, involving key stakeholders, including councils and venue operators.
Leichhardt Oval and Campbelltown Sports Stadium will be undergoing much-needed improvements over the next couple of years, which will undoubtedly reduce the capacity at these venues during the construction phase.
A decision on playing home games at these venues in the 2027 season will not be made until construction timelines and ground capacities have been confirmed.
Wests Tigers CEO Shane Richardson says the club’s stadia plan has been shaped by many factors.
“A joint venture will always face difficulties around venue selection,” said Richardson.
“Our members and fans know that we will always make decisions which we believe are in the best interests of this club.
A longer-term decision on home grounds cannot be made until we have all the details around stadium improvements, and construction timelines.
“We are excited and proud to continue building our community in the south-west and Macarthur region, and playing games in Campbelltown is a big part of that.
“Equally, we look forward to the improvements at Leichhardt Oval, so that we can continue to call it our home as well.
"CommBank Stadium is an amazing place to watch footy which will give our members first class facilities to enjoy the Wests Tigers’ match day experience.
“It will also provide significant commercial opportunities that are needed for Wests Tigers to grow and become a top four club.”
Wests Tigers confirm home grounds for next three years
Wests Tigers have confirmed where the club will be playing its NRL home games over the next three years.
I really don't see why not. The site has hosted the commonwealth games athletics, Broncos games when they were averaging 43k and the Super League GF. I was regularly there when the Broncos would have 50k in attendance and it wasn't that bad to get in and out of and that was in the 90's before all the upgraded transport that will be in place for the Olympics.
But AFL can't play there so I have the shits
But isn't that our decision as locals?
Was hoping they would play vast majority at CommBank until the other 2 parks are suitable.Wests Tigers have confirmed where the club will be playing its NRL home games over the next three years.
