I still dont think that Ballymore will be used for Hockey, I cant see why the proposals from April wont come true.
Despite wanting to keep Ballymore for Rugby, maybe the best option would be to share a stadium at Perry Park with Soccer and utilise Ballymore for other money making ventures.

How hockey can help football share the Brisbane Olympic spoils
Brisbane football fans’ dreams for a boutique football stadium could finally be realised, with the help of another Olympic sport.
But the need for an Olympic-sized hockey venue for 2032 presents the perfect opportunity for Perry Park to be redeveloped into a boutique stadium, with a capacity of between 15,000 and 20,000, just a short Cross River Rail ride from the Gabba.
With hockey’s field dimensions similar to football’s, a new stadium at Perry Park would be a perfect-sized venue for Olympic hockey, but otherwise far too large for the sport. The field would simply need to be returfed after the Games.
Unlike Ballymore, situated in the midst of residential suburbia, it has the transport links, with every CityTrain line stopping right across the road at Bowen Hills station.
