Former Brisbane Lord Mayor Graham Quirk to lead 2032 Games venue review

JOINT STATEMENT
  • Former Brisbane Lord Mayor Graham Quirk to lead independent review of Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic venue infrastructure
  • The review will focus on the new and upgraded venues to ensure they deliver value for money and community benefit right across Queensland and starts today.
  • Ken Kanofski and Michelle Morris have also been appointed to conduct the review and deliver an independent report to government within 60 days.

The 60-day venue infrastructure review has kicked off today, with Premier Steven Miles and Minister for State Development and Infrastructure Grace Grace announcing former Brisbane Lord Mayor Graham Quirk will lead the review.

The review will be informed by targeted consultation and relevant advice from a broad range of stakeholders.

It will include both major sports venues (the Gabba and the Brisbane Arena) and the program of new and upgraded minor sports venues.

The review will assist the Queensland Government in assessing infrastructure investments to be made against key criteria, including:

  • Value for money;
  • Fit-for-purpose;
  • Deliverability; and
  • Community legacy.

Findings will be provided to the Minister for State Development and Infrastructure Grace Grace on Monday 18 March.

The Miles Government will also establish a delivery authority for the Brisbane 2032 Olympics and Paralympic Games which will be operational towards the middle of this year.
