Start of construction at the Queensland State Velodrome
As I approached Chandler Velodrome this afternoon on the way to a Repsych Sunday afternoon training session, I noticed a Watpac construction sign. Ahhh, construction on the Queensland State Velodrome must have started!
After the Repsych training session I investigated. Sure enough, the old car park shade structures had been demolished and earthworks had begun.

There appears to be an excavation up there, most likely for the velodrome foundations
Behind the trees there are several earthmoving trucks, with excavators behind the site office

Site of the new Queensland State Velodrome at Chandler in Brisbane
I had heard that the construction site offices had been erected for the new Queensland State Velodrome at Chandler in Brisbane. I thought I would take a few photos of the site before work started.
Queensland-based construction group Watpac was awarded the construction contract (Queensland Government media release dated 15 August 2014) for the new $55 million velodrome being built for the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games. Apparently Watpac took possession of the site in October 2014. Brisbane-based Cox Rayner Architects was awarded the design contract (Queensland Government media release dated 13 June 2014). A separate contract will be awarded for construction and design of the timber cycling track.
The new velodrome is due to be finished by mid-2016.
