Brisbane 2032: A Vision for the Future
Brisbane’s Olympic venues will blend urban infrastructure with natural attractions, reflecting Queensland’s character. The rowing course in a crocodile-inhabited river exemplifies this adventurous approach, making it one of the most distinctive Olympic locations in history.
Premier David Crisafulli’s revised plans prioritize long-term value over temporary structures, scrapping the costly Gabba redevelopment in favor of a state-of-the-art stadium at Victoria Park. The move is intended to leave a lasting legacy for Queensland sports.
Tourism is central to the Games, with events in iconic locations like the Whitsunday Islands and the Gold Coast’s famous surf breaks. These choices highlight Australia’s scenic destinations, potentially boosting international interest in the region.
With a $4 billion budget allocated for infrastructure, Brisbane aims to deliver an Olympics that benefits not just athletes and spectators but also local communities. Enhancements to existing venues ensure cost-effectiveness while maintaining high standards for competition.
Brisbane 2032 is shaping up to be a distinctive and legacy-focused Olympics, combining world-class sporting facilities with Queensland’s natural wonders. With seven years to go, the focus is now on execution and timely completion.
“The time has come to just get on with it. And get on with it we will.” – Queensland Premier David Crisafulli
