As part of the new Olympic bid process, the Future Host Commission of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) nominated Brisbane as its preferred candidate on 24 February 2021. The Brisbane bid was approved on 21 July 2021 during the 138th IOC Session in Tokyo.

It will be the third Olympic Games held in Australia, following the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne, Victoria, and the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, New South Wales.

Bidding process

Perspective
Further information: Bids for the 2032 Summer Olympics

The new IOC bidding process was approved at the 134th IOC Session on 24 June 2019 in Lausanne, Switzerland.[2] The key proposals, driven by the relevant recommendations from Olympic Agenda 2020, are:

  • Establish a permanent, ongoing dialogue to explore and create interest among cities/regions/countries and National Olympic Committees for any Olympic event
  • Create two Future Host Commissions (Summer and Winter Games) to oversee interest in future Olympic events and report to the IOC executive board
  • Give the IOC Session more influence by having non-executive board members form part of the Future Host Commissions.[3][2]

The IOC also modified the Olympic Charter to increase its flexibility by removing the date of election from 7 years before the games and changing the host from a single city/region/country to multiple cities, regions, or countries.

The change in the bidding process was criticised by members of the German bid as "incomprehensible" and hard to surpass "in terms of non-transparency".[4]

According to Future Host Commission terms of reference with rules of conduct, the new IOC bidding system is divided into two dialogue stages:[5]

  • Continuous Dialogue: Non-committal discussions between the IOC and Interested Parties (City/Region/Country/NOC interested in hosting) concerning hosting future Olympic events.
  • Targeted Dialogue: Targeted discussions with one or more Interested Parties (called Preferred Host(s)), as instructed by the IOC Executive Board. This follows a recommendation by the Future Host Commission as a result of Continuous Dialogue.

Host selection

On 24 February 2021, the Future Host Commission named Brisbane as its preferred candidate for the 2032 Summer Olympics, and the IOC formally invited the Brisbane bid committee and Australian Olympic Committee to engage in targeted dialogue. Committee chairwoman Kristin Kloster Aasen cited Brisbane's "high level of expertise in hosting major international sports events", the quality of its transport infrastructure (citing its performance during the 2018 Commonwealth Games), and a favourable climate.[6]

At the 138th IOC Session in Tokyo on 21 July 2021, the IOC's delegates passed a referendum to officially award the 2032 Summer Olympics to Brisbane. In the voting, 72 of the delegates voted "Yes", 5 voted "No" and 3 other voters abstained. Having been awarded the hosting rights 11 years and 2 days in advance, this is the most time a host city has had in planning and organizing an Olympic Games.[8]

Organisation

The Brisbane Organising Committee for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games was established by the Queensland Government in 2021 to plan, organise and deliver the Olympic and Paralympic Games in accordance with the host contract.[9]

Development and preparations

Summarize
Perspective

From the 2021 selection of the city as the host for the 2032 Summer Olympics, Brisbane has 11 years to prepare for the games. A feasibility study commissioned by the Southeast Queensland Council of Mayors in 2019 suggested that the Games could be a catalyst for increased transport and infrastructure investment. Additionally, 68% of the required venues were judged to already exist or could be upgraded to an Olympic standard.[10] It concluded that, excluding government agency costs and contributions by the IOC and the private sector, the Games net cost would be $900 million.[10] This amount also did not include the suggested billions of dollars of greater investment in roads and public transport that would be required for the Games to be successful.[11]

In 2023, the federal and state governments reached a funding deal, with the Commonwealth contributing $2.5 billion for the Brisbane Live arena and $1 billion for other infrastructure. The remaining costs would be borne by the Queensland Government.[12]

Venues

Main article: Venues of the 2032 Summer Olympics and Paralympics

Venues will be located in three zones in South East Queensland: Brisbane as the main host city, and the neighbouring city of Gold Coast and the region of Sunshine Coast. Another two cities in Queensland will host football preliminaries: Cairns, and Townsville. Melbourne and Sydney — Australia's two previous host cities in 1956 and 2000, respectively — will also host football preliminaries.

The Games will use a mix of new, renovated, and expanded venues.[13] A new 63,000-seat stadium will be built at Victoria Park, which will host the ceremonies and athletics events; it will replace The Gabba as Brisbane's main outdoor stadium following the Games.[14][15] The Centenary Pool Complex will be expanded with a new 25,000-seat aquatics centre,[14][15] while the Queensland Tennis Centre will be expanded with 12 new courts and a 3,000-seat show court.[15][13][16]

Venue construction and renovations

The Gabba was originally slated to be reconstructed to host the ceremonies and athletics, expanding it to 50,000 seats and adding a new pedestrian plaza.[17] The costs of the Gabba project were scrutinized by politicians; it was originally announced at a cost of $1 billion,[18][19] but by February 2023, it had increased to $2.7 billion, which would be paid entirely by the state.[20] Scrutiny over the Gabba project grew after Victoria withdrew its hosting of the 2026 Commonwealth Games due to cost concerns.[21] In December 2023, Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinne withdrew his support for the project, stating that Brisbane 2032 had "become more about overpriced stadiums rather than the promise of vital transport solutions",[22][23] and that a parallel proposal of a $137 million stadium at the Brisbane Showgrounds that would temporarily house The Gabba's tenants during construction (with Brisbane City Council, the Lions, and Cricket Australia being expected to cover two thirds of the cost) was the "final straw".[23][24]

On 13 December 2023, Premier of Queensland Steven Miles announced the establishment of a Brisbane 2032 infrastructure authority, and an independent review of the Games' venue plans.[25][26] On 18 March 2024, Miles announced that the Gabba reconstruction had been scrapped as a result, and that Lang Park (which is already scheduled to host rugby sevens and football) and Queensland Sport and Athletics Centre (QSAC) would host ceremonies and athletics instead.[27] Both venues would be refurbished,[27] while reports that had been commissioned as part of the Gabba project would be used to guide future work on the stadium.[28] A proposed 17,000-seat indoor arena known as Brisbane Live (which was slated to host aquatics events)[27][29] was also relocated to the Roma Street Parkland, rather than above the Roma Street railway station. The review recommended the construction of a new 55,000 seat stadium at Victoria Park, but Miles stated he wanted Brisbane 2032 to be a "low-cost" games, and that he could not justify a $3.4 billion stadium "when Queenslanders are struggling with housing and other costs".[27]

On 29 October 2024, after the Liberal Nationals' victory in the Queensland state election, incoming Premier David Crisafulli announced that he would launch a 100-day review of the stadium proposals, including the previously-cancelled Gabba rebuild and Victoria Park stadium, as well as new proposals sent in by design firms. The plan to have athletics at QSAC was scrapped. Crisafulli stated that he wanted the review to result in "something that Queenslanders are proud of."[30] In January 2025, former Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk told ABC News that the review committee had internally decided to move forward with the Victoria Park stadium as a public-private partnership; she argued that this was "absolutely a ridiculous idea", and that "it's going to cost a lot more — more billions and billions of dollars that Queenslanders don't have at the moment because of the cost-of-living pressures".[31]

On 25 March, Crisafulli announced that the state government would go ahead with plans for a 63,000-seat stadium at Victoria Park; the stadium will replace the Gabba, which will be demolished and redeveloped following the Games. He argued that "any other choice would have meant placing the government's interests ahead of the interests of Queensland", and felt that hosting athletics at QSAC would have been "embarrassing". Crisafulli apologized for breaking a campaign promise to not build a new stadium for the Olympics, stating that "I have to own that, and I will. I am sorry, it's my decision, and I accept that decision". According to the review, the stadium will cost an estimated $3.785 billion, although this figure is yet to be publicly confirmed.[14][15] Brisbane Live was also scrapped in favour of building a new 25,000-seat aquatics centre at the Centenary Pool Complex. The arena will be relocated to Woolloongabba across from the Gabba, and will continue as a standalone "market-led" project without federal funding.[32][33]

Infrastructure

Trains on the Queensland Rail city network in 2018

As of 2021, Brisbane has many infrastructure projects under construction or planning on top of the games. Cross River Rail, scheduled to be completed by 2029,[34] is an underground railway project through central Brisbane, which is under construction. Cross River Rail will see the development of a new rail line underneath Brisbane River, and the redevelopment of several stations in the Brisbane central business district with a cost of over A$17 billion.[34] Another transport infrastructure project is the Brisbane Metro bus rapid transit project, which consists of two routes with a headway of up to five minutes during peak times.[35] The project is scheduled to be completed in late 2024.[36] In May 2024, funding was announced for the proposed Maroochydore railway line, expected to be completed by 2032.[37]

Brisbane Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner proposed that a 7-hectare (17-acre) glass factory in West End formerly operated by Visy, be redeveloped into a 57,000 m2 (613,500 sq ft) International Broadcast Centre along the banks of the Brisbane River.[38][39]

The main Athletes' Village will be constructed at Hamilton.[40]

The Games

Sports

Since 2020, the program of the Summer Olympics consists of mandatory "core" sports that persist between games and up to six optional sports: optional sports are proposed by the organising committee in order to improve local interest, provided that the total number of participants does not exceed a presumed 10,500 athletes.[41][42] The initial sports programme will be determined at an IOC Session in 2026.[43][44]

Various sanctioning bodies have announced plans to pursue bids for sports to be added to the 2032 Summer Olympics:

Broadcasting rights

Summarize
Perspective

Domestically, the Games will be televised by Nine Entertainment properties (including the Nine Network), which acquired the rights to the Olympics from 2024 through 2032 in a deal announced on 8 February 2023.[65][66] These Games also mark the final year of the IOC's long-term broadcasting contracts with CMG in China,[67] Warner Bros. Discovery in Europe,[68] and NBCUniversal in the United States,[69] among others. In March 2025, NBCU signed an extension to air the Olympics through the 2036 games;[70] the IOC is otherwise waiting "for the best market conditions" to sign new broadcasting deals.[71]
