The Brisbane Arena refers to the proposed Brisbane Live Entertainment Arena, a 18,500-seat indoor venue planned for the Roma Street precinct, intended to be a major venue for sporting and music events. The venue was initially proposed to host aquatic events at the Brisbane 2032 Olympics.

The review included detailed site visitations, a comprehensive desk top review of the design, interviews with expert consultants as well as Stadiums Queensland, Queensland Office of the Government Architect and the Games Independent Infrastructure Authority. This included the following:

Operational and Commercial Alignment
Patron-Centric Design
Back-of-House and Staging Efficiency
Sustainability and Legacy
Emergency and Crowd Management
Infrastructure and Technology Backbone

The project aimed to capitalise on the existing range of sporting, music and arts events occurring in Brisbane. The Brisbane Live Arena, with state-of-the-art facilities and technology, would provide Brisbane and Queensland with a world class facility for premium live events that is highly accessible and well connected to all transport networks. The Roma Street Parklands location of the venue aimed to provide connection between the existing Suncorp Stadium and the Brisbane CBD.

The precinct includes entertainment, parklands, commercial, residential, dining and retail. Creating a destination for the western edge of the Brisbane CBD. The precinct also integrates major public transport & infrastructure including the historic Roma Street station and platforms, the proposed Cross River Rail, future Brisbane Metro and the relocation of the existing transit centre underground.
