Gabba Entertainment Precinct - Expression of Interest

Summary and scope

The Queensland Government invites experienced proponents to participate in an expression of interest process to partner with Government to develop the Gabba Entertainment Precinct, a transformative inner city precinct anchored by a new indoor entertainment venue in Woolloongabba, Brisbane. The Gabba Entertainment Precinct combines two large parcels of land, known as the Gabba West site and the Gabba East site, providing a 9 hectare inner city redevelopment opportunity. The project is comprised of the delivery of an Arena on the Gabba West site (pre-2032) followed by redevelopment of the Gabba East site (post-2032) to provide additional housing and transform the Precinct into a housing and entertainment precinct. Arena The Arena is proposed to be Queensland’s premier arena for entertainment and sports. The Arena will be a venue capable of maintaining flexibility to host different kinds of events such as concerts, family shows, sports events and corporate events, with a capacity of 17,000-seats. Mixed use development Gabba East is currently home to the Brisbane Cricket Ground (known as the Gabba Stadium), however, with the development of the new Brisbane Stadium in Victoria Park, the Government intends to decommission the Gabba Stadium after 2032 to enable the private sector to redevelop the site into a mixed-use precinct with housing, complementary commercial and retail uses and open space.
