The tribal group launched legal bid to stop Brisbane Olympic Stadium

For the 332 Brisbane Olympics to be built on culturally important land, a indigenous group has launched a legal action to stop 000 63,3 seat stadiums.

The Queensland government announced in March that Victoria Park will be created on the 60 -hectare site – with federal funding – a new $ 3.8 billion ($ 2.5 billion) stadium.

Yagar Magandzin Tribal Corporation (YMAC) and Save Victoria Park Group are requesting the Federal Environment Ministers to determine the culturally important site in the park, which can save land development.

Victoria Park is “very important and history” for those who are not indigenous and indigenous, “said YMAC spokesman Gaja Kerry Charlton.

“We are very worried that there are ancient trees, artifacts, and very important ecosystem. There may be ancestral remnants.”

A spokesman for the Federal Government confirmed that a request to appoint a site under the tribal and Torres Strate Islander Heritage Protection Act.

He said, “The department is currently reviewing the application and will take all the standard steps to progress with the applicants, supporters and the Queensland government,” he said.

If the stadium is built, it will organize the inauguration and closed ceremony of Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2032.

After the Olympics, the Stadium will be a home of AFL and cricket in Queensland.

In recent years, the infrastructure scheme for the 2032 Olympics in Queensland has become a strong political issue.

Labor’s Anastasia Pallasaz led the successful Olympic bid, and announced a plan to redevelop Gabba Stadium for these games at a cost of $ 3 billion. But fear of being displaced and the taxpayers frustrated the price tag.

Another expensive plan was recommended in a review after she left her as a premier in 223, a new stadium in Victoria Park. However, in the wake of the survival crisis, the state’s new leader Steven Miles chose to upgrade the existing sites to organize games events, criticizing some as a global scale for Australia.

A few months later, he lost the Liberal National Party’s election that campaigned on the promise of not a new stadium.

But after reviewing the new government’s own, the new Prime Minister David Krisfuli adopted a plan to create a place in Victoria Park, and then introduced laws that exempt new Olympic sites from planning rules.

However, these plans have been completed in Queensland, in which some locals are worried about losing the green space of a large internal cities and the potential loss of other cultural heritage.

State and Federal governments have indicated that they will be busy with indigenous groups on development plans at Victoria Park.

Brisbane’s Lord City President Adrian Shriner told Brisbane Times that the stadium has strong support.

“Finally, this is going to happen,” he said. “There is no doubt that it will try to reject and slow the project.”
