It will feature a main and secondary stadium, each with large indoor pools to support elite training and competition.The Centenary Pool at Spring Hill will be upgraded to be home to the National Aquatic Centre and Precinct.The venue will have a capacity of more than 25,000 for the Games using temporary seating, surpassing the capacity of La Defense Arena, the swimming venue for the Paris 2024 Games.It will host the majority of aquatic sports in 2032, supported by the Brisbane Aquatic Centre in Chandler, which will be upgraded.Beyond the Games, the National Aquatic Centre will have a permanent capacity of 8000 seats. Premier David Crisafulli said previous options were credible, including putting a drop-in pool at either a concert arena or Suncorp Stadium.“The problem with these is that legacy for swimming disappears after the Games,” he said.Crisafulli said the new centre had the backing of diving, artistic swimming, water polo and Swimming Australia.He said some Olympic and Paralympic sports would move their headquarters to Brisbane permanently.
