Milton could soon see more concerts and major events as the community overwhelmingly backs a proposal to double the annual concert cap at Suncorp Stadium.

Results from a recent public consultation reveal that over 75% of respondents living within the Lang Park Traffic Area, which includes Milton, either agreed or strongly agreed to permanently increase the number of concerts held at Suncorp Stadium from six to twelve per year.

The stadium, a landmark in Milton since its redevelopment in 2003, has been operating under a temporary increase to twelve concerts for 2023 and 2024. This change was implemented to capitalise on post-COVID-19 enthusiasm from concert promoters.

Member for Cooper Jonty Bush, whose electorate includes Milton, expressed satisfaction with the community’s response: “It’s fantastic having a world-class stadium in our own backyard and having world-class performers entertaining huge crowds here.”

Bush also noted that a proposal to count a series of concerts by a single performer as one event will not proceed, providing Milton residents with “greater certainty in relation to the maximum number of actual concerts that will be happening close to home.”

Suncorp Stadium General Manager Alan Graham acknowledged the local community’s role in the stadium’s success: “We appreciate the support and cooperation of our locals when big events happen and will continue to apply measures to minimise any impact on our neighbours.”

The proposed changes could have significant implications for Milton and surrounding areas. While the increased number of events promises economic benefits, it may also mean more frequent disruptions to local traffic and potentially increased noise levels on concert nights.

Minister for Tourism and Sport Michael Healy emphasised the broader impact: “These world-class stadia attract world-class performers and events. They play a vitally important role in Queensland’s sporting and cultural landscape, as well as growing tourism.”

The Queensland government will now consider all feedback before making any decisions about possible legislative amendments. For Milton residents, this could mean a busier, more vibrant local area, with up to twelve nights of world-class entertainment per year right on their doorstep.
