Organisers of the 2012 Olympics finalise master plan
Organisers of the 2012 Olympics have now finalised their master plan for the Olympic Park in east London.
And the only major change to the revised plans will see that the volleyball event is moving from the main park to another venue, which is probably Earl's Court.
London 2012 chairman Lord Sebastian Coe said the plans they made now would dictate how the venues would be used afterwards too.
Lord Coe said: "Six years out from hosting the Games, we have a compact site that works for the community afterwards."
The Olympic Park will be created on 306 hectares (756 acres) of land in Stratford and will accommodate the Olympic Stadium, aquatics centre, Olympic Village as well as hockey, cycling and tennis facilities that will all be used after the Olympic Games.
The International Olympic Committee and the relevant sporting bodies have approved the master plan, which means the London team can now move on to the next stage of development for the Olympics and Paralympics.
