Construction begins on the main stadium for Brisbane’s 2032 Olympic Games at Victoria Park, with crews moving equipment and starting site work as protest activity continues around the area. Multiple outlets report that protesters are present when work commences, and that authorities move protesters along to allow construction to proceed. The Independent describes protesters being moved and construction equipment being repositioned as the stadium project begins. Other Australian reports, including the Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, Brisbane Times and 7News, similarly say construction starts either today or tomorrow (depending on the outlet’s timing) at Victoria Park despite protests. These reports characterize the protest as an ongoing attempt to disrupt the start of works. While there is emphasis on the presence of protesters and the tense atmosphere around the park, all accounts align that the Olympic stadium construction proceeds after protesters are relocated or moved on, and that site work begins as planned.
