Ms Palaszczuk stressed that a Brisbane Games would be able to use existing stadiums and other sporting infrastructure, some of which was built for the Gold Commonwealth Games in 2018. John Coates, President of the Australian Olympic Committee, said holding the Olympics would essentially cost Queensland nothing, with the IOC promising about $2.5 billion and further costs covered by ticket sales and sponsorship.
"We have 85 per cent to 90 per cent of the venues in place or opportunity for temporary venues. But this here is the best opportunity that our city, our region and our state has had in generations." The key backers of the Brisbane bid -the Queensland government, the council of mayors in south east Queensland, and the AOC and Federal Government put forward a master plan and met with IOC officials recently.
Thomas Bach, International Olympic Committee President, has announced that Brisbane is the preferred city for the 2032 Olympic Games.
Whatever !
How much nepotism is there on the board of directors? You have an Aust as head director... This is making a mockery of the games selection process
GladysB Dom_Perrottet The NSW Government should seriously put in a counterbid to host the 2032 Olympics, as Sydney already has 99% of the infrastructure.
Why any country wants to host the Olympics is beyond me

IOC officially selects Brisbane as preferred candidate for 2032 Olympic GamesAustralia has become the strong favourite to host the 2032 Olympics after the International Olympic Committee gave it the status of its preferred bidder early on Thursday morning. Will Australia be out of lockdown by 2032? Brilliant! Brisbane and Queensland can now look forward to 10-15 years of no investment in infrastructure while the state pays for this carnival. We suffered in Sydney for it, and I always thought it was just the incompetence of Bob Carr. hopefully the borders are open by then!? 🤦🏻♂️
