Brisbane 2032 Olympic
The Organizing Committee of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games released this 10 November its Legacy Strategy, which is described in the plan as a “20-year journey to a healthier, more active and inclusive society”.
“This is our opportunity to work as one to ensure no one is left behind and equality and inclusion shine through before and beyond 2032”, said Andrew Liveris AO, president of the committee. The strategy, branded as Elevate 2042, follows a year of community consultation with more than 14,000 ideas submitted through the Hopes and Dreams survey, Legacy Forum and Elevate 2042 consultation paper.
It is supported by the International Paralympic Committee, International Olympic Committee and Brisbane 2032 Presidents, and has the bold mission of making Brisbane, Queensland, Australia and the Oceania region better, sooner, together through sport, with opportunities accelerated by the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2032.
The vision is that by 2042, society should be more inclusive, sustainable and connected, with more opportunities in life for everyone.
The Australian Premier and Minister for the Olympic and Paralympic Games, Annastacia Palaszczuk, pointed out that “hosting the Olympic and Paralympic Games has never been about a few weeks of spectacle, it is about making the most of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to provide lasting benefits for our communities”. “We want 2032 to be the starting line – not the finish – for new investment, new industries, new opportunities, and a new golden era for Queensland”, she added.
