How the Games will benefit residents

Council is committed to working with the community to achieve sustainable long-term outcomes that will benefit residents now and long after the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

  • ensure benefits are delivered across all of Brisbane
  • create a legacy of new and upgraded facilities and infrastructure
  • create a better connected, more sustainable region
  • improve the quality of life for our community.

  • Aligned national, state, regional and city plans will improve access to and from regional areas, ease congestion and make travel through our regions easier and faster.

Enhance economic and business opportunities

  • An increase in demand for tourism, trade and investment will create scaling and procurement opportunities for local businesses.
  • More job opportunities in the lead up to and during the Games will contribute to a stronger local economy.

Create a greener Brisbane

  • Infrastructure that utilises Brisbane’s natural features will help cool the city and improve quality of life for locals and visitors.

  • Connecting the suburbs with lush parkland and tree canopies will encourage active travel and promote a healthy lifestyle.

  • More energy-efficient lighting, solar panels, electric vehicles and recycling will minimise Games-related carbon emissions.

Countdown to 2032

The State Government’s new vision for Games venues will transform Brisbane into the sporting capital of Australia.

  • Our grassroots community clubs will be able to access landmark investment through the Games On! Program.
  • Victoria Park / Barrambin will become Queensland’s centre stage with a new world-class stadium that will be delivered with private funding to ensure we can continue to keep downward pressure on rates.
  • The new National Aquatic Centre will deliver the world’s best aquatic centre in our backyard.

The 2032 Delivery Plan also provides Brisbane with the opportunity to create a lasting transport legacy for our growing region.

We're looking forward to working with all levels of government to deliver a legacy that will benefit Greater Brisbane and beyond for generations to come.
