Delivering 2032 and Beyond: Let the Games Begin on the Sunshine Coast
- The Sunshine Coast 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.
- Maroochydore City Centre to be transformed with an Athlete Village, arena and cultural precinct.
The Queensland Government has today released the 2032 Delivery Plan, putting the Sunshine Coast 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 regions like the Sunshine Coast hosting Olympic events, driving tourism opportunities and supporting community grassroots sport.
As part of the 2032 Delivery Plan, the Sunshine Coast is in the box seat for:
- Upgrades to the Sunshine Coast Stadium in Kawana Sports Precinct.
- Upgrades to the Sunshine Coast Mountain Bike Centre.
- Transformation of the Maroochydore City Centre with a new Athlete Village, arena and cultural precinct.
- Delivery of The Wave – a seamless public transport connection all the way to the Sunshine Coast Airport, with direct rail from Beerwah to Birtinya, and metro from Birtinya to the Sunshine Coast airport via Maroochydore.
- 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.
"That includes delivering critical upgrades to the spine of our transport network, the Bruce Highway, between Cairns and Brisbane.
"Come 2032, through better connectivity and the right infrastructure, the Sunshine Coast will be ready to open its doors not only to the Games but to more tourists, more employment and more opportunities."
