The iconic Australian cricket stadium, 'The Gabba,' is slated for a revamp ahead of the 2032 Olympics. Renowned for hosting one of the fastest tracks in world cricket, the Gabba is set to undergo a comprehensive redevelopment that involves its demolition and subsequent reconstruction.
This initiative aims to modernize and enhance the facilities, ensuring that the Gabba aligns with contemporary standards and serves as a fitting venue for the 2032 Olympics.
Queensland state's Deputy Premier, Steven Miles, confirmed the approval of a 2.7 billion Australian dollar (US$1.8 billion) redevelopment plan for the stadium, commonly known as the Gabba.

The government endorsed a project validation report, paving the way for the significant overhaul.
Miles outlined that the redevelopment project aims to enhance the stadium's seating capacity to 50,000 while establishing a connection between the Gabba, a cricket hub for over a century, and a new underground rail station.
The ambitious project is set to reshape the iconic venue, aligning it with the modern infrastructure needed for the 2032 Summer Games in Brisbane.
