  • upgrades to the Brisbane Aquatic Centre,

  • Sunshine Coast Stadium,

  • Sunshine Coast Mountain Bike Centre, and the

Investment in these venues places a focus on:

  • Accessible, inclusive and fit-for-purpose sporting and community spaces that leave a lasting community legacy

Both governments will work together to ensure venue projects reflect the long term needs of the community and are ready in time for the Games.
