An Indigenous group has launched legal action to stop a 63,000-seat stadium for the 2032 Brisbane Olympics being built on culturally significant land.
The Queensland government announced in March that a new A$3.8bn ($2.5bn; £1.8bn) stadium would be built - with federal funding - at Victoria Park, a 60-hectare site.
The Yagara Magandjin Aboriginal Corporation (YMAC) and Save Victoria Park group are requesting the federal environment minister to determine the park as a culturally significant site, which could protect the land from development.
Victoria Park is "of great significance and history" for Indigenous and non-Indigenous people, YMAC spokeswoman Gaja Kerry Charlton explained.
"We are very concerned there are ancient trees, artefacts and very important ecosystems existing there. There may be ancestral remains."
