The home of golf for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games will undergo a major upgrade, including the addition of nine new holes.
The State Government has approved a Ministerial Infrastructure Designation for the Royal Queensland Golf Club, situated alongside the Brisbane River at Eagle Farm.
Deputy Premier and State Development, Infrastructure and Planning Minister Jarrod Bleijie said the Designation would deliver a world-class venue in time for the Club to host golfing events at the 2032 Games.
Minister Jarrod Bleijie said the upgrade would include a new championship-quality nine-hole golf course, an Eastern Pavilion, amenities and undercover deck, an administration building, kiosk and outdoor racquet sport facilities.
“These critical upgrades to the Royal Queensland Golf Club will deliver a world-class golf facility to host the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games,” he said.
“This will also provide a legacy for the golf course and provides for active transport for the broader community along the river frontage into the future.”
Royal Queensland Golf Club president Robert McAfee said the eastern redevelopment would help position the Club for the future.
“Our Club has more than 100 years of history, and this project returns golf to the site of our original course while positioning the Club for the future,” Mr McAfee said.
