“We’ve gotten word today that it’s not just the eastern end of Raymond Park that will be ripped up for an athletics track, but the entire park,” she said.

“Even people whose homes might be spared aren’t convinced. Residents I’ve spoken to this morning are still furious, and have still had no communication from the government.”

“...This community is going to keep fighting, keep campaigning, keep reaching out to everyday people right across the state until we save our school, save our park, and redirect nearly $3 billion to healthcare and housing, instead of a single sports stadium.”

Traditionally, warm-up tracks have been adjacent to Olympic athletic venues, so the 500-metre journey to the main venue will be an anomaly for this millennium.

But a lack of space around the Gabba, which will be rebuilt at an estimated cost of $2.7 billion, meant such a stadium-adjacent facility was impossible.

Instead, athletes will warm up in Raymond Park, about 500 metres north of the stadium.

The Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games Organising Committee would be responsible for the construction of the temporary four-lane track, with a six-lane straight and warm-up facilities.

It would also manage operations around the Raymond Park precinct during Games time.

“Thank you to the residents of Raymond Park and the community of Woolloongabba for their patience over the past year, while authorities have worked to progress planning on the athletics warm-up facilities,” Liveris said.
