Venues and villages
Hosting the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games is a privilege that will define our city and state for decades to come.
The Games Independent Infrastructure and Coordination Authority has responsibility for delivering new and upgraded venues for use before, during and after the Games. This is not just about four weeks of sport. It’s about delivering a legacy for all Queenslanders for generations to come.
The Games Authority are currently undertaking a 100 Day Review into Games infrastructure and planning, with the findings to be handed down in March 2025.
Games Venues
All new and upgraded venue projects are being pre-planned to meet the needs of our growing regions and brought forward to be built in time for the Games, not built for the Games.
New and upgraded facilities will be purpose designed to meet local community participation needs first and foremost, before being converted to Games competition venue mode, and then returned to the community with long-lasting benefits. A pipeline of development and construction is being accelerated to deliver venues and infrastructure to support our growing state.
The majority of venues are existing or temporary, reducing the overall cost of the Games and reducing environmental impacts.
Games venues are currently under review as part of the 100 Day Review into Games infrastructure and planning.
The Brisbane 2032 venues and villages program currently includes competition venues for hosting 28 Olympic and 22 Paralympic sports.

Locations
Brisbane 2032 will largely be hosted across three key zones – Brisbane, Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast – with some events being held in regional Queensland, and two interstate venues in Sydney and Melbourne.
Athlete Villages
Brisbane 2032 is expected to accommodate more than 16,000 athletes and officials during the Olympic Games and around 8,000 during the Paralympic Games. All accommodation provided to athletes will be near the competition venues, with the average athlete travel time expected to be less than 20 minutes.
After the Games, three of the villages will provide new permanent dwellings for South East Queensland’s growing population within vibrant mixed-use precincts.
Athlete villages are also being considered as part of the 100 Day Review into Games infrastructure and planning.
