The Queensland government has decided to go ahead with a bid to host the 2032 Olympic Games
The Gabba could host the 2032 Olympic Games Opening Ceremony, according to Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk.“Cabinet has this morning given the go-ahead to moving to the next level,” she said.
"Today is an historic day which really will create a bright future for our region, will create jobs, will create better transport and will bring more tourists to our state and our region of south-east Queensland," Cr Schrinner said. The bid is contingent on major infrastructure and transport projects to connect the entire region, which Cr Schrinner said were critical even if the Olympics were not awarded to Queensland.
Redland City Council mayor Karen Williams said the announcement was of particular benefit to smaller councils, which could leverage off the announcement to push for key infrastructure projects.
