Ipswich in Spring 2022

Construction of the $80 million Brisbane Lions new stadium at Springfield Central is progressing well, with the stadium expected to be ready for its first event from November. The facility will not only be the new home of the Brisbane Lions but will also provide Ipswich with exceptional sporting facilities and boost the region’s economic potential. The boutique stadium, training and administration centre will be home of the Brisbane Lions’ champion men’s and women’s teams and provide state-of- the-art facilities for a variety of local sports, clubs and the community. As the region prepares for Brisbane 2032, the timely construction of this complex will enable Ipswich to host sporting events during the Olympic Games.
