HAVE A GO AT OLYMPIC SPORTS
The Opportunity
The Australian Olympic Committee believes sport in Queensland and Australia more broadly will be super-charged following Queensland successfully convincing the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to bring the Games back to Australia.
Following the Queensland Government’s decision on December 9th 2019 to formally support a 2032 candidature, work began immedietly to finalise Queensland’s vision and plans for the Games.
The Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games will be more than a two-week sporting event. There’s a ten-year runway of opportunity leading into the Games and decades of benefit to flow afterwards.
A Government study has predicted 129,000 jobs in tourism, hospitality and construction to be created by a Queensland Games. A tourism study has identified a $20 billion uplift from 2021-2036.
With the IOC’s New Norm process in place, the cost of bidding for and hosting an Olympic Games has been significantly reduced.
The New Norm is part of the IOC's Agenda 2020 reforms.
