A pre-feasibility report into a proposed privately built stadium in Logan went before Logan City Council on Wednesday morning. The report examines the viability of a 4,000-seat ballpark that could be expanded to 10,000 for the 2032 Olympics.
However, city planning, economic and community development general manager David Radich told councillors no private funding had been secured. "There are people that are generally interested [in investing], but there are no people that have committed to funding the stadium," he said. "That process is still live with Griffith University as the landowner."
Interest to build the facility has come from both Australia and overseas, Radich said, but he would not reveal from whom.
The pre-feasibility report noted the $156 million facility would be a harder sell for potential investors if baseball and softball were not included in the 2032 Olympic Games.
Asked whether the proposed ballpark was part of Brisbane 2032's thinking when it came to deliberations about the Games' sports roster, organising committee president Andrew Liveris remained open to the idea.
