Brisbane Showgrounds Get Olympic Upgrade | Sydney News

Brisbane’s RNA showgrounds are set for a $278.5 million transformation ahead of the 2032 Olympics, part of a $3.5 billion push to build athlete villages and revitalize key venues. Construction kicks off after this year’s 150th Ekka, with no disruption to the festival — and the project staying on budget thanks to Hutchinson Builders. The upgrade includes a modernized 20,000-seat arena, a new multi-story horse pavilion replacing old stables, and major accessibility improvements from street level to grandstands. While the physical footprint shrinks, vertical expansion ensures event space stays intact — crucial for Paralympians and future legacy. This comes alongside Victoria Park’s masterplan, hinting at a city-wide infrastructure boom for Brisbane’s Games.
