Brisbane 2032 Infrastructure Agreement Sets Stage for Lasting Legacy

Funding and Venue Highlights

The agreement secures funding and outlines collaboration between governments to deliver 17 new or upgraded venues across Queensland. Central to the plan is a $7.1 billion investment, including a capped $3.435 billion contribution from the Australian Government.

Key projects include:

• A new 63,000-seat stadium at Victoria Park
• A state-of-the-art National Aquatic Centre

These venues are designed to serve communities and athletes well beyond the Games.

Community-Focused Planning

The agreement commits to delivering projects on time and within budget. An engagement plan for the Victoria Park Precinct will focus on enhancing green space and creating a lasting public asset.

Transport Transformation

Complementing venue upgrades is a $12.4 billion investment in transport infrastructure, including:

• Bruce Highway upgrades
• Faster rail between Brisbane and the Gold Coast
• Stage one of the Direct Sunshine Coast Rail (Beerwah to Caloundra)

These projects will improve connectivity and benefit commuters and regional communities.

Building a Legacy for Queensland

Brisbane 2032 is more than a global sporting event—it’s a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reshape Queensland’s infrastructure for lasting impact. The investments in venues and transport are designed to deliver enduring benefits, creating vibrant community spaces, better-connected regions, and world-class facilities that will serve Queenslanders long after the Games.
