The Coalition today welcomes the announcement of the Federal Government’s commitment to

invest $3.435 billion into the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games infrastructure development,

putting an end to months of speculation and rumours to the contrary.

Thanks to the strong leadership of the Crisafulli LNP state government, Queensland can finally focus

on delivering a world-class games with a lasting legacy that both Queenslanders and Australians alike

can be proud of.

“We are very pleased to see the Federal Government finally commit to a fair funding agreement for

the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games Infrastructure Development,

” said the Shadow Minister for

2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, Senator James McGrath.

“It is a testament to the leadership and strength of both Premier Crisafulli and Deputy Premier

Bleijie, that they have secured a reallocation of funding towards a new world-class stadium and

minor venues program whilst also ensuring better value for money for taxpayers through their

ability to work with the private sector to build the new Brisbane Live Arena at a fraction of the price.

“The 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games is something that will be celebrated by all Queenslanders

and all Australians whilst also creating a lasting legacy through state-of-the-art infrastructure both in

the cities and regional and rural communities alike.
