Olympic and Paralympic Games Brisbane 2032
On 21 July 2021, the International Olympic Committee selected Brisbane as the Host City of the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games (the Games).
The Olympic Games are scheduled to be held from 23 July to 8 August 2032 and the Paralympic Games from 24 August to 5 September 2032.
Gold Coast 2032 Legacy Strategy
The Olympic and Paralympic Games Brisbane 2032 will bring significant cultural, social and economic benefits for our city. As a Co-Host and key Delivery Partner, we have a unique chance to create lasting benefits for the Gold Coast – both in the 10 years leading up to the Games and the following decade.
In April 2025 Council endorsed the Gold Coast 2032 Legacy Strategy. The Strategy builds on the Gold Coast 2032 Legacy Framework. It sets out the key actions we will take to make the most of the Games and deliver transformational improvements for our city.
A Games for all of Queensland
The Games will put Queensland on the world stage and are expected to deliver about $8.1 billion in benefits. This includes $4.6 billion economic growth through tourism and trade and $3.5 billion in social improvements to health, volunteering and community benefits.
As a Co-Host, the Gold Coast will share in the Olympic and Paralympic legacy, supporting our vision – Inspired by lifestyle. Driven by opportunity. With a global audience and more visitors from around the world, we have a unique opportunity to showcase our incredible city, natural assets, vibrant lifestyle and leading industries on an international stage.

Part of the reason we’re co-hosting the Games is to support local businesses, create jobs and promote our city. New investment in infrastructure, tourism, trade and community programs will grow Queensland's economy, with around 91,600 new jobs expected.
The Brisbane 2032 Procurement Program gives local businesses the chance to help deliver one of the world's biggest sporting events. The Program focuses on transparency, sustainability and local benefit. Businesses are encouraged to register via the Supplier Portal to access Games procurement opportunities. By registering, you can:
- get alerts for relevant Expressions of Interests
- showcase your capabilities to Games buyers
- connect with other suppliers and delivery partners.
The Games will bring global attention and create opportunities for local businesses to grow and succeed. We are committed to supporting local business and industries to make the most of these opportunities.
Businesses can prepare for future supply opportunities by becoming 'tender ready'. You can find programs, resources and other information available on the Business Queensland website.
Brisbane 2032 Legacy Strategy
Nearly 14,000 ideas were shared to help plan the legacy of the Games. Feedback came from the Hopes and Dreams survey, stakeholder engagement and the Brisbane 2032 Legacy Forum held in March 2023. The Strategy was developed by all the Games Delivery Partners.
An Implementation Plan will guide early legacy activities up to 2029. This plan will be created with the Games Delivery Partners and will outline priority programs, projects, targets, partnerships, policy levers and funding sources that can make these initiatives happen.
