Brisbane 2032: The Hard Part Starts NOW!

Six years out from Brisbane 2032, the countdown clock is running—but key venue costs, capacities and the Games’ operating budget remain unresolved. This Greater Brisbane update examines what is actually moving forward, before following the money through Airtrain’s accounts as calls grow for a government buyback and 50-cent airport fares. We also look at the first signs of a Brisbane property slowdown, the extraordinary decline of Karalee’s Bubble House and the historical discoveries made beneath Shorncliffe Station.
