Perry Park - Olympic Application

[patjennings]

Perry Park upgrade won't be anything substantial, I very much doubt it will take it to a level where it is suitable for A League Mens, e.g., minimum of 10,000 seating capacity. It will be an improvement for grass roots usage.

And of course the improvements made to Sunshine Coast, Townsville and Cairns stadiums, while ostensibly for the Olympic football, will primarily be used for rugby league, with no real legacy there for football.

Forget the Olympics then. We have a Federal election coming up and a Womens Asian cup in a year's time including in Qld. Surely an upgrade to Perry Park for a training venue for some of the teams could be on the cards. The current Federal Minister for sport is also the Minster for Women, Perry Park is in her electorate. The Opposition Leader is also a Queenslander whose electorate office is 30 mins from Perry Park.

Work would need to start soon as it starts on March 1st next year.

I'm pretty sure Perry Park had money spent on it to upgrade it as a training venue for the Womens World Cup in 2023. Change rooms and playing surface was pretty much all it covered, I think.

Even an upgrade to 10K would be perfect for Brisbane Roar’s men’s team.
