Pressure has been building from stakeholders and major sporting codes, urging the government to construct a new stadium at Victoria Park for Brisbane 2032.

However, a Brisbane-based architecture firm has revealed a bold new plan for an Olympic venue, including a rebuilt 55,000-seat Gabba, entertainment arena, and pedestrian bridge. 

Director of Hayes Anderson Lynch Architects Gerard Lynch told Gary Hardgrave 4BC Drive, "The Gabba has the history beside it, it's in the right location, it's close to everything, and it has the infrastructure."

There has been a lot of debate around the capacity of a potential new stadium in Brisbane for the 2032 Olympics.

Some say it should hold at least 80,000 people, while other believe a 50,000 or less seat stadium would suffice.

Former town planner Marian Wheeler told Shane Doherty on 4BC Summer Drive, "If we had an 80,000 capacity stadium, we would have the third largest cricket stadium in the world and we would have the second largest AFL venue in Australia."

"This is a very, very large stadium, which is way beyond the justification provided by the level of usage we have from patrons at the Gabba."

80,000 or 50,000: What is the ideal capacity for Brisbane's Olympic stadium?

Over 20,000s clinical trials have happened in Australia in the past two decades with research showing that 79 per cent of Aussies would consider getting involved in one.

Evrima Technologies Founder and CEO Charlotte Bradshaw told Shane Doherty on 4BC Summer Drive, "Every single clinical trial goes through an independent ethics committee and we're all governed by what's called good clinical practice."

"There are so many regulatory and quality controls that go into clinical trials naturally because of patient safety."

"We don't want to put anyone in harm's way," Ms Bradshaw said.
