Brisbane Announced as Host City for 2032 Olympic & Paralympic Games - Brisbane Development

THE OLYMPIC GAMES BARELY LASTS THREE WEEKS, BUT ITS LEGACY INFRASTRUCTURE LASTS FOR GENERATIONS.

The Olympics should not be seen as just two weeks of sport, it should be seen as a way for a city’s inhabitants to benefit from infrastructure such as much needed transit projects that the region would not have otherwise got.

Let’s look at the infrastructure planned as part of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Masterplan.

Transit Infrastructure

The masterplan video which helped win us the right to host the games mentions “high quality road and rail” in the first 20 seconds. It is not far fetched to assume that because this is a regional SEQ games, with events spread out across the region, safeguarding South East Queensland’s transport accessibility would be of the up most importance for a newly created Brisbane 2032 Olympic Coordination Authority (OCA).

The region’s rail capabilities, even with Cross River Rail completed is extremely limited. You would never consider going from the Gold Coast to the Sunshine Coast by train. That needs to change if we want to avoid complete gridlock in the region. If there should be one lasting legacy project gifted to South East Queenslanders, it should be region wide high speed rail or fast rail.

Brisbane Development will keep you updated throughout the decade ahead. Starting with the activation of the Brisbane 2032 Organising Committee for the Olympic Games (OCOG), which is to be established 5 months after the signature of the host contract as well all proposals of Olympic related infrastructure to be unveiled by the Olympic Coordination Authority (OCA).

Brisbane 2032: Queensland Premier plays down Olympics spat with Morrison government - 10Oct21 - The West Australian

“Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has flatly rejected comments the state and federal planning committee had descended into a brawl over the Brisbane Olympics.”
“The Queensland Premier is embroiled in a seemingly never-ending stoush with Canberra over border policies but this had not extended to the Games, with the organising committee celebrating its bipartisan alliance across the three levels of government.”
“That was until federal MP Ted O’Brien, who has been appointed as a commonwealth special envoy to co-ordinate the preparations, claimed the Queensland government was trying to stack the deck.”
“According to The Courier-Mail, he sensationally threatened to pull out of a joint funding arrangement for the $5bn major event.”
“Mr O’Brien’s comments arose from a stoush over the makeup of the 22-person organising committee.”
—— ———- 
“On Sunday, Ms Palaszczuk was clearly frustrated with the federal member as the Premier delivered a slap down.”
“I will work very cooperatively with the federal government,” she said, insisting the council, state and commonwealth was “working so well together”.
“It’s a bit odd for a backbencher to be commenting on something that has been dealt with at the ministerial level.”

‘It should not have been said’: Scott Morrison’s blunt view of Olympics threat- 13Oct21 - The Courier Mail

“Stunning details of Scott Morrison’s direct intervention following a threat to withdraw Federal cash for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games have been revealed.”

“Mr Coates on Wednesday revealed stunning new details of the spat, telling the National Press Club that he received a call from Mr Morrison (Australian Prime Minister) the morning the story broke in The Courier-Mail.

“Saturday morning, the Prime Minister rang me, and said I want to assure you, John, that what was said should not have been said, and we’re working very closely together as the two governments conclude this legislation,” Mr Coates said.”

“It hasn’t fallen apart.”

All eyes on Brisbane, but NRL grand final still just a dress rehearsal - 2Oct21 - Brisbane Times
 

  • Brisbane Organising Committee for the Olympic Games: this month Premier Anasatcia Palaszczuk will introduce legislation in State Parliament to set up BOCOG.
  • In just over decade from now, Brisbane will host the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games
  • “Not since Barcelona in 1992 has an Olympic host been better able to capitalise on hosting a Games,” Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk reminded everyone in her State of the State address on Thursday.
  • The multibillion-dollar City Deal between all levels of government needs to be sorted out.
  • All projects supporting the Games need to be identified, chosen, designed, approved, re-examined, tendered, built and tested.
  • Decisions on the Gabba upgrade need to made, along with the fast rail proposal after a lukewarm reception so far.
  • Brisbane City Council: Its Brisbane Metro megabus project might link to Brisbane Airport with its new international terminal by the time the Olympics roll around.
  • The Queensland government’s underground Cross River Rail project will better link the coasts and provide improved links to Brisbane sports and entertainment venues, although how much remains a matter of contention.
  • Transport Minister Mark Bailey said, in the first instance, it would make catching buses and trains to Olympic venues easier
  • “Commuters catching the train will be able to get from the CBD to the main Olympics stadium at the Gabba in less than five minutes, or get out of the Roma Street underground and head to the Brisbane Olympics venue that will be built in that precinct for the Games,” Mr Bailey said
