Brisbane 2032


Recommended Posts

Q: How does that explain her experience with sports? 

 

Michael Knight was appointed President of Sydney 2000 (and Minister for the Olympics) with no sport experience and pulled off the best Olympics in history.

The Olympic Games are a huge logistical event that happens to involve sport. The specific sporting decisions can be decided by separate Committees, specialists and Federations. The leader does not ned sport experience per se.

“Chesterman told insidethegames that Hook was "clearly up for the challenge" of building and managing a team to deliver the Games in 10 years’ time after getting the chance to meet her for the first time yesterday.”

“Hook has secured the role after stepping down as chief executive of Deloitte Asia Pacific earlier this year.”

"It’s a really exciting appointment," said Chesterman.”

"I wasn’t part of the interview process, but I can understand why my colleagues were impressed by her.“

“Sandy Holloway, who was the Sydney’s 2000 Games chief executive, describes Hook as a formidable business person and “an excellent appointment”.

“Holloway said he would “not presume to think it necessary”, but he would be available for Hook at any time to share advice or tips.”

“My view has always been that the less reinvention of the wheel that has to be done by an organising committee on the fundamental stuff, the more time each individual city organising committee has to focus on what will make its games special and different,” Holloway said.”

“Cindy Hook already has Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk’s support.”

“Her depth of experience, her understanding of business and the dealings with the business community are absolutely critical, and she brings a wealth of experience to the role.”

Brisbane Games emblems, mascot release dates announced

Stephanie Bennett
3–4 minutes

With Queensland “technically at year one” in its 2032 Games schedule, the chief organiser is eager for the whole state “to be singing from the same hymn sheet”.

Future Brisbane 2022 will present a line up of world-class experts and industry leaders to discuss how the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games can redefine mobility and connectivity across South East Queensland.

The Brisbane office for VMLY&R delivered the winning bid for the key contract with a consortium of majority Queensland-based agencies, including Landor & Fitch, Kantar Public and First Nations consultancy, BlackCard.

Brisbane 2032 president Andrew Liveris said VMLY&R and the consortiums’ experience impressed the Games Organising Committee, having worked on multiple Olympic and Paralympic Games including Sydney, London, Rio de Janeiro, Nagano, Salt Lake City, Milano Cortina and Atlanta.

“It is important to us that we engage organisations that understand, and ideally work within, the local market, have demonstrated capability to work on the global stage, and align to the values of Brisbane 2032, the International Olympic Committee and the International Paralympic Committee,” he said.

The deal is the second major announcement in a week for the 2032 Games, following the news that global executive Cindy Hook had been appointed as chief executive.

Mr Liveris said delivering the emblems and the visual strategy for the Games was a key milestone, with the designs set to be unveiled in the middle of next year.

A mascot will be further down the track, with Mr Liveris saying the community would also have the ability to be involved through community consultation, market research and market testing

“This is technically year one, and we’ve made really great progress,” he said.

“I’m anxious to get everyone on the same page, about what this means for South East Queensland, for Queensland and for that matter the country – I want us to be singing from the same hymn sheet.”

Mr Liveris said three First Nations student interns would be recruited through local universities to work with and learn from the brand design team.

“The approach to deliver the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic emblems will include an Athletes of the Future panel, including 20 young athletes from a range of levels of competition with lived experience of disability and different cultural backgrounds,” he said.

VMLY&R managing director Adam Kennedy said the company was looking forward to being part of a critical step forward for the Games.

“We are honoured and humbled to be able to play this important role in setting the brand strategy and visual identity for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games,” he said.

“We know how important this opportunity is to the people of Brisbane, Queensland, and Australia.”

Mr Liveris said the visual strategy was vital as the quest to secure sponsorship ramps up over the coming years, and said he was impressed with how other cities, such as London, had used branding to showcase their Games.

Too early for a media updates thread, but this is big news...

The Nine Network has secured the broadcast rights for the next three summer Olympics - including Brisbane in 2032 - from incumbent Channel Seven.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Nine offered more than $300 million for the next three summer games - Paris 2024, Los Angeles in 2028 and Brisbane - and the winter events during that period.

International Olympic Committee (IOC) officials are set to confirm the deal in the coming weeks.

I still can't get my head around the idea of an Olympic opening ceremony in the stadium where Harmison bowled the worst ball in the history of cricket :P. The river does look really wide though, there's a risk it'd end up like the Diamond Jubilee thing on the Thames, where there was a parade on the river but it was really cloudy and nobody could see the other side! Is there still nobody thinking that Australia's third city could justify a stadium at least as big as Perth's? I get cost-cutting and making the games fit Brisbane but since the Gabba will basically be a new stadium anyway...

Welll...that's exactly what I said earlier, if it is no possible for 2032 then why pointing out it was done back in 1988? Brisbane would'nt loose to much by making ceremonies in their main stadium, its not like if brisbane river was as iconic as the parisian seine,  or sidney's harbour. Pushing brisbane river for hosting the ceremony would be like asking London for making the thing in the thames, its a cool sport for tourists, but not for a massive event

Nine will do the same no doubt......I watch streaming, so I avoid all the TV nonsense and ads.

The commentary on the OBS world streams is usually a lot better than the crap they serve on Seven or Nine so as long as those streams are available I don't care who the broadcaster is.

“The Sydney Morning Herald had reported that Nineoffered more than AUD$300 million (£170 million/$205 million/€193 million) for the next three Summer Games, including Paris 2024 and Los Angeles 2028, and the Winter events at Milan Cortina 2026 and 2030, which still has to be awarded.”

“They outbid rival Seven, which sources claimed was between AUD$230 (£130 million/$157 million/€148 million) and AUD$250 million (£142 million/$171 million/€161 million) and had refused to increase the offer they had made last August.“

The state government has blamed funding negotiations with the Commonwealth for the lack of public plans for the $1bn Gabba redevelopment, ahead of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Two months after Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk pledged Queenslanders would see the plans “in a couple of weeks or so”, no details of what the revamped stadium could look like, or how much it will cost, have been released.

The Courier-Mail understands the plans were flagged to be made public by Christmas, but that timeline was shelved as talks with the federal government have dragged on.
