Redland City Council is encouraging local businesses to register their interest in the design and construction of sporting venues for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

The Games Independent Infrastructure and Coordination Authority (GIICA) has launched the registration of interest (ROI) for delivery of all 17 Olympic projects being constructed across Queensland, including the whitewater centre proposed for Birkdale Community Precinct.

Deputy Mayor Julie Talty said this was just the start of the economic benefits that would be delivered to Redlands Coast in its role as a Games host city.

“Brisbane 2032 is now only seven years away and this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for industry to be involved in the design and construction work being generated to deliver Queensland’s venues,” she said.

“The Olympic and Paralympic Games will bring billions of dollars in economic uplift plus international exposure for Queensland – and Redland City Council is determined that Redlands Coast will be a part of that.”

The milestone announcements came as part of GIICA’s historic Industry Briefing with more than 1500 participants, both in person and online, underlining engagement and collaboration in the drive towards the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Queensland Deputy Premier and Minister for State Development, Infrastructure and Planning, Jarrod Bleijie said the landmark Australian Government and Queensland Government funding agreement, which was announced in July, had been instrumental in working towards delivery of critical Games infrastructure and the stages of procurement.

GIICA Chairman Stephen Conry said it was an exciting time for the state’s construction industry, with new infrastructure across Queensland – including more than 50 extra courts, sporting fields and pools – that would serve as a legacy for many years.

The ROI and also expression of interest for a major infrastructure delivery partner both close on 15 August 2025, and organisations can apply through the GIICA website
