Organisers of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic games addressed the IOC today, saying more than 500 local businesses are vying to be part of the procurement or supply chain.
Brisbane 2032 Organising Committee CEO Cindy Hook said there had been strong early market engagement following the launch of Brisbane’s 2032 Procurement and Supplier Portal.
“Since our launch, more than 500 businesses have registered their interest against more than 65 work packages that we have open,” Ms Hook said.
Brisbane 2032 Organising Committee President Andrew Liveris said that “one of Australia’s largest companies” would be announced as the events inaugural commercial partner in the second quarter of 2026.
“The Queensland Government’s 2032 Delivery Plan is confirmed and venues are underway, procurement opportunities are open, our Games Vision has been announced,” Mr Liveris said when speaking about the progress.
“We’ve had significant interest from sports wanting to be part of our games.
“Our streamlined Board recently and appointed Advisory Groups are leading our transition from planning phase to implementation and delivery.”
On the Queensland Government’s 2032 Delivery Plan, Liveris explained that community confidence was clear.
“I’m pleased to say that since the Delivery Plan announcement, communities across Queensland and beyond have resoundingly backed the plan and the generational economic and social benefits it will deliver,” Mr Liveris said in a statement.
LA2028 Olympic Games will feature an “Australia House” (the first of its kind since Sydney 2000) in a bid to preview Queensland’s Olympic and Paralympic Games to the world.
The organisers said discussions on the Sport Programme for 2032 are underway, with regular engagement with the IOC and International Federations, supported by extensive data analysis across more than 35 sports.
The aim is to deliver a programme that is “engaging, sustainable, and commercially and operationally viable.”
The Games marketing vision, announced in December, is “Believe. Belong. Become. Brisbane 2032,” and has been designed in consultation with 6000 Australians to reflect the power of sport, inclusivity, opportunity, and shared national identity.
There will be a series of announcements in 2026, including the development of the Venue Master Plan and Sport Programme, additional commercial and procurement, confirmation of the sustainability strategy, the unveiling of the Games emblems, and expanded community engagement activities.
Local sporting clubs are set to share in $30 million in State Government legacy funding, as the second round of the Games On! program inviting applications for grassroot club upgrades was announced yesterday.
119 projects have been supported across Queensland in Round 1, with applications for Round 2 now open.
The aim is to strengthen community participation by improving the quality and accessibility of sporting facilities, helping clubs grow, and making it easier for Queenslanders to get involved in sport.
