Queensland company BMD Constructions will undertake the next stage of early works on the new Brisbane Stadium in Victoria Park.
Games Independent Infrastructure and Coordination Authority (GIICA) CEO Simon Crooks said the awarding of the early works contract for the Brisbane 2032 Olympics and Paralympics showcase venue represented another major milestone on the construction pathway.
Mr Crooks said BMD’s early works program would include bulk earthworks as well as erosion and sediment controls, haul roads, semi-permanent fencing, stormwater drains, retaining walls and establishment of a logistics plaza.
He said GIICA undertook a comprehensive two-phase open market procurement process to select the early works contractor, including an Invitation for Prequalification (IFP) which received 22 responses.
“I look forward to working closely with BMD on our Games journey, creating Queensland jobs and building an extraordinary legacy with the new Brisbane Stadium in Victoria Park.”
Mr Crooks said the stadium early works were due for completion by the middle of 2027.
He said delivery of the stadium ahead remained on schedule, with design work continuing and the Early Contractor Involvement process in full swing to identify the final builder.
“An Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation referral was deemed ‘not a controlled action’ in May, meaning the Victoria Park precinct does not require any further Commonwealth environmental assessments or approvals.”
