Northshore Hamilton plans to transform into main Athletes’ Village for Brisbane 2032

Northshore Hamilton is planning to undergo a significant transformation to become the main Athletes’ Village for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The Village is expected to host more than 10,000 athletes and team officials for the Olympic Games and more than 5000 for the Paralympics.

Queensland Deputy Premier and State Development Minister Steven Miles said the development scheme for the Northshore Hamilton PDA is in the final stages of review and will be released for public comment later this year.

The planned Athletes’ Village will be on Economic Development Queensland-owned land within the Northshore Hamilton Priority Development Area (PDA).

Northshore’s prime waterfront location, proximity to the CBD, competition and training venues, and transport connections - make it an ideal location for and after the Games.

Minister Miles notes “the Olympics will do for Northshore Hamilton what Expo 88 did for South Bank.

“Village construction will crystalise the area’s long-term plan and rejuvenate the existing industrial land.

“It will boost an already popular precinct - home to landmarks such as Portside, Eat Street Markets, and Alcyone Hotel, and some of Brisbane’s best waterfront living - will be tremendous.

“Brisbane is now an ‘Olympic City’ along with global destination-giants Paris and Los Angeles as future hosts (2024 and 2028), after Tokyo.

“The legacy of the Village precinct is already incredibly important.”

Post the Games it will deliver a diverse residential offering, including aged care, retirement living social and affordable housing, key worker, hotel, build-to-rent and market accommodation.

EDQ recently awarded a $14 million package of works to BMD Constructions to construct three new roads and upgrade two others with associated services and landscaping at the eastern end of Northshore.

Northshore is also set to be the home of a proposed new biomedical facility for Vaxxas to manufacture its world-leading needle-free vaccines, which could be used for COVID-19.

With Northshore Hamilton PDA in the final stages of review Minister Miles advises “It’s important for the local community to have their say on such an important infrastructure area.Our goal is to have a revised development scheme next year.”
