The $280 million redevelopment of Lang Park created Suncorp Stadium, a 52,500-seat rectangular stadium on the edge of Brisbane's CBD that is now one of Australia's leading sporting venues.

Lang Park has been the home of rugby league in Queensland since 1957. In 2001, the Queensland Government began a $280 million redevelopment to turn the ground into a 52,500-seat, world-class rectangular stadium on the edge of Brisbane's CBD.
The new stadium replaced the separate grandstands with one continuous seating bowl. Steep seating brings spectators closer to the field, and a low floating roof covers about 75% of the seats. The design kept the "cauldron" atmosphere that Lang Park was known for. The project also included a 12-bay bus station, a large public forecourt, and corporate and catering facilities able to serve fine dining to more than 1,900 guests at once.
RCP's first role was to manage the design team through statutory approvals with Brisbane City Council, so the project could move into design and construction. During pre-construction, RCP provided project management and programming advice. RCP's role was later extended into construction to support on-time completion. This included auditing the contractor's programme, assessing extension of time claims and carrying out regular status reviews to track progress towards completion.
The redeveloped stadium opened in June 2003 and hosted matches in that year's Rugby World Cup. It has since become one of Australia's leading rectangular venues and the home of the Brisbane Broncos, Dolphins, Queensland Reds and Brisbane Roar. It also hosts State of Origin and major international sporting and live music events.
RCP also managed the $9.5 million Suncorp Stadium Flood Recovery for AEG Ogden after the 2011 floods showing RCP's long involvement with the venue.
