Suncorp Stadium will stay in the people's hands Queensland's premier reassures after documents show her predecessor had wanted to sell them.

News Corp Australia says emails obtained through Freedom of Information laws show the Newman government was secretively considering privatising Suncorp Stadium, the Brisbane Entertainment Centre, and The Gabba as part of their more widely known plan to sell-off the state's ports and electricity network.

Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has declared that Suncorp Stadium is not for sale.

The emails reportedly were between directors-general and a global real estate firm.

The state's new Labor Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk, whose key election promise was to not sell-off any state assets, says she has no plans to sell them.

"Absolutely no plans to privatise Suncorp Stadium (and the others)," she said.

"It will stay in the people's hands."
