Queenslanders have been invited to help shape the future of sport in the state.
The State Government has released a discussion paper on Queensland’s future sport strategy, with public submissions accepted until June 15.
Sports and Racing Minster Tim Mander said paper, What Does 2032 Mean for You?, would inform a new 10-year strategy that would shape future investment, with a focus on maximising the benefits beyond Brisbane 2032.
Minister Mander said Queenslanders could have their say through an online survey and written submissions, as well as at community forums to be held across the State, and targeted consultation with industry.
He said the strategy would complement the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games Delivery Plan.
“The 2032 Delivery Plan outlines the Government’s $7.1 billion investment which will deliver legacy infrastructure, and an additional $250 million investment into grassroots sporting clubs across the State through the GamesOn! Program.
“Hosting the 2032 Games will not only allow us to deliver an exceptional event but build a legacy that will transform our State into the undeniable home of Australian sport,” Minister Mander said.
“We want to hear from the community about the challenges they face in getting active, how to help community sport thrive, encourage more volunteers, and alleviate cost pressures.”
He said the final strategy would be released later this year.
