The final report from the 100-day Olympic infrastructure review is expected to be completed by March, with Victoria Park once again in the spotlight for a stadium.

Brisbane City Council Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner told Shane Doherty on 4BC Summer Drive, "What's in the middle of Melbourne's central parkland area? A big sporting precinct."

"It's amazing and you can just see the way that people love that and so I guess from my perspective it could work in Victoria Park but we have to make sure that we retain the vast majority of the park as green space and I think that can be done."

"I just think there's ways you could minimise any kind of impact on green space and just create an amazing destination and so the stadium itself would be a destination but the parkland around it would be a destination and I think it could work really well," the Lord Mayor said.
