Brisbane Arena, also known as Brisbane Live is a proposed, multipurpose entertainment and sporting arena to be located within the Roma Street Parkland in the central business district of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. The project is being developed in conjunction with Cross River Rail. The venue will be the location for swimming events at the 2032 Summer Olympics and the 2032 Summer Paralympics.
The venue is expected to have a capacity of 17,000 to 18,000 people and cost $2.1 billion to construct.[2]
The arena was originally going to be located in a new precinct, situated above existing railway lines, directly east of Roma Street railway station. The arena precinct was to be situated between Roma Street and Albert Street, linking with the railway station and Roma Street Parkland to the west.[3] The site was partially occupied by the now demolished Brisbane Transit Centre.
In March 2024, the Premier of Queensland, Steven Miles, announced that the Brisbane Live arena would be relocated to the Roma Street Parkland, rather than be built above the Roma Street railway station. [4]
