And ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr says a decision won't be made for at least another three years - and another study.
There's also no mention of what a new stadium would cost - it's explicitly excluded from the report.
Some are labelling the $10 million Bruce Precinct Master Plan as a waste of money that's under-delivered, but Canberra Senator Katy Gallagher said it's a crucial piece of work that's the first step.
