Delivering 2032 and Beyond: Let the Games Begin in Toowoomba
- Toowoomba to benefit from a winning Games legacy of infrastructure, transport connectivity, tourism and grassroots sport.
- 2032 Delivery Plan sets the plan for a successful 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
- Toowoomba Showgrounds to be upgraded to an Equestrian Centre of Excellence.
The Queensland Government has today released the 2032 Delivery Plan, putting Toowoomba on the roadmap for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
These Games will not just be for Brisbane and the Plan recognises the value in Queensland's regional centres like Toowoomba to host Olympic events, drive tourism opportunities and support community grassroots sport.
As part of the 2032 Delivery Plan, Toowoomba is in the box seat for:
- A major upgrade to the Toowoomba Showgrounds to host the Equestrian events and become an Equestrian Centre of Excellence.
- The Equestrian Centre of Excellence could include additional arenas, stables and warm-up facilities and new amenities, as well as an upgraded and lengthened cross country course.
- Leveraging the 20-year tourism plan for new tourism initiatives.
- A share in the $250 million Games On! programs with upgrades to grassroots community clubs.
Premier David Crisafulli said 2032 would be the Queensland Games.
"These Games are a once-in-a-generation opportunity to deliver an infrastructure, tourism and grassroots sports legacy to benefit all of Queensland," Premier Crisafulli said.
"Delivering 2032 and Beyond sets the plan to build much more than what's needed for a few weeks of competition.
"This is a plan that builds for our future, ensuring regional communities continue to benefit for decades to come.
"Come 2032, through better connectivity and the right infrastructure, Toowoomba will be ready to open its doors not only to the Games but to more tourists, more employment and more opportunities."
