Australia Corporate, Finance and Real Estate Alert
The Queensland Government is uniquely positioned to deliver world-class infrastructure for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games (2032 Games). This paper identifies three global insights from past Olympic Games that inform this opportunity.
| Key Insights | |
|---|---|
| Queensland Can Lead Globally by Applying Lessons from Past Olympic Infrastructure Delivery | The Queensland Government has an opportunity to benchmark its infrastructure delivery approach against the successes and challenges of recent Olympic Games, including London, Tokyo, Paris, and Rio. By analysing how other host nations approached procurement, governance and legacy, the Queensland Government can streamline delivery, mitigate risks more effectively, and establish a global benchmark for Olympic infrastructure. |
| A Fully Funded 2032 Games Enables a Smart and Flexible Procurement Strategy | With venue infrastructure fully funded, the Queensland Government is uniquely placed to adopt a portfolio procurement approach that matches delivery models to project needs. By combining traditional contracts with collaborative models, the Queensland Government can balance the risks of cost, time, and quality across the delivery program. |
| Government Oversight is Key to Delivering Transparency, Accountability and Legacy Outcomes | Strong leadership and oversight from the Queensland Government will be essential to achieving the objectives set out in the Brisbane 2032 Delivery Plan and the 100 Day Review. A transparent governance framework will support delivery objectives of cost, time, and quality in a way that reinforces public confidence and helps ensure legacy outcomes are fully realised. |
