Going for Gold

The economic opportunity for the taking

 

For Brisbane, the Olympic and Paralympic Games will undoubtedly mark an important milestone in the host city’s evolution from a ‘big country town’.

The growth, connectivity and recognition associated with Brisbane’s evolution drives opportunity for those living and working in its heart, but also for the regional Queenslanders whose innovation and natural resources contribute to the state’s economic lifeblood. 

With the event now only seven years away, it is time to focus on the transformative potential for our economy. Brisbane 2032 is a chance for us all to take a winning mindset; our chance to secure an economic legacy, of our choosing, for generations to come.
