00:00Finally, Queensland has a plan.
00:22The time has come to just get on with it.
00:27Get on with it, we will.
00:30We can get on with it because the plan is built upon hard work.
00:35The consequence is no sporting legacy is delivered, and that means nothing for our swimmers for
00:40tomorrow.
00:41No return for our investment for one of the iconic sports of our state.
00:47Instead, we are excited to announce we will build a new National Aquatic Centre with a
00:53games capacity of 25,000 people.
00:58The centre will see a number of Olympic and Paralympic sports move their headquarters
01:02up to Brisbane permanently.
01:05A real world-class legacy which will serve these sports for decades to come.
01:10I can also announce Melbourne will not be taking the tennis from Brisbane.
01:21Not on our watch.
01:23A major upgrade of the Queensland Tennis Centre will include a new 3,000-seat show court arena
01:28and 12 new match courts which, in addition to the Pat Rafter Arena, will bring even more
01:33tournaments to Brisbane.
01:36It became a choice between delivering a Games with an eye to the future or rewinding the
01:42clock for decades.
01:45In the end, the choice was clear.
01:47The Games must be held at a new stadium at Victoria Park.
