The Elevate 2042 Legacy Plan has been unveiled by Games Delivery Partners. It outlines opportunities for Brisbane 2032 to transform our region by advancing our economy, enhancing public transport and connectivity, improving our environment, and building more inclusive communities.
Games Delivery Partners include the Australian Government, Queensland Government, Council of Mayors (SEQ), Brisbane City Council, City of Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast Council, Australian Olympic Committee, Paralympics Australia and the Brisbane 2032 Organising Committee.
Elevate 2042 creates the framework for that transformation, with a focus on four key areas that are already seeing legacy projects being planned, or coming to fruition. These include Connecting people and places; a better future for our environment; economy for the future; sport, health and inclusion.
“Transforming South East Queensland through enhanced transport connectivity was always the driving force behind our region’s ambition to become an Olympic and Paralympic Host City and Region,” Council of Mayors Chair and Brisbane Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner said.
“We’re excited to see a commitment by all Games Partners to a collaborative Brisbane 2032 Mobility and Transport Strategy for South East Queensland that will ensure key improvements to the region’s transport system and operations are prioritised, integrated and delivered in time for the Games.
“SEQ is growing quickly so more convenient, faster and accessible travel choices will help to keep our region and its growing communities moving before, during and after the Games.
“We’re also excited to see Resilient Rivers and the SEQ Waste Management Plan recognised as key legacy projects, and how they can be elevated through the Plan to deliver even more benefit for our local environment, waterways, rivers and Moreton Bay.”
“The Games will deliver the biggest event in south-east Queensland’s history and a moment in time to be remembered, but our legacy will evolve for generations to come,” said Brisbane 2032 Organising Committee President Andrew Liveris AO.
“This is our opportunity to work as one to ensure no-one is left behind and equality and inclusion shine through before and beyond 2032.
“From inclusion to sustainability, First Nations peoples to economic prosperity, this is a strategy with purpose and the outcomes and successes will elevate the strength of our communities and nation like never before.
“My thanks to Games Delivery Partners for supporting the development of the strategy to this starting point, and to the thousands who shaped the framework and will continue to contribute as elements of the strategy are delivered over the next two decades.”
