Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games

CoMSEQ was a key partner in the successful Brisbane 2032 bid process and remains a committed Games Delivery Partner (GDP) for Brisbane 2032, representing the Host Region – South East Queensland – and its Host City, Brisbane; Co-Host cities Sunshine Coast, Moreton Bay, Scenic Rim, Redland, Ipswich and Logan; and remaining SEQ councils who have contributed to the foundational work to secure the Games.

On 5 March 2015, the region’s Mayors (through CoMSEQ) committed to investigating how hosting the Games could leave a lasting legacy in SEQ by accelerating the delivery of planned major regional transport and legacy infrastructure to support current and future needs, whilst also driving new opportunities for trade and investment.

Following six years of significant consultation, engagement and venue audits, feasibility and value proposition assessments were completed by experienced global experts with direct Games experience. This work culminated in the development of a strategic Games Master Plan in 2019 which carefully aligned pre-existing growth and transport needs of the region, whilst leveraging the legacy benefits of global exposure and long-term economic development. This work is the foundation of the current Brisbane 2032 Venues Master Plan.

Since the announcement of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, SEQ councils and CoMSEQ have been working with all GDPs to ensure that our region is well-prepared for the Games.

Elevate 2042

The need for a strong regional transport legacy for SEQ that delivers long-term benefits for population growth was strongly highlighted in community consultation in 2023 during the development of the Brisbane 2032 Games Legacy Strategy – Elevate 2042 – and remains a current and prominent commitment in the Strategy. Through this strong collaboration and input from SEQ, Elevate 2042 includes a commitment by all Games Partners to a collaborative Brisbane 2032 Transport and Mobility Strategy for South East Queensland. This will ensure key improvements to the region’s transport system and operations are prioritised, integrated and delivered in time for the Games. 

Elevate 2042 also identifies a number of CoMSEQ’s initiatives as early announcements activating the legacy journey, including Resilient Rivers South East Queensland, the SEQ Waste Management Plan and the Preventative Health Initiative. 

Through our influential advocacy, the SEQ Mayors will continue to work to identify further opportunities to leverage the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, for future investment in our region.
