Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games Economic Impacts Seminar

This seminar will explore the potential economic impacts of the 2032 Games – the opportunities, the traps to avoid, and the lessons learnt from previous host cities such as München, Sydney and London.  With only ten years to the 2032 Games, it is critical that these opportunities and risks are carefully managed by our Federal, State and Local Governments to ensure that South East Queensland achieves the maximum benefits from hosting the Games.  A key reference for the Seminar is the February 2022 Knight Frank Research Insight Paper, “Brisbane’s Accelerated Development: How the 2032 Games and Cross River Rail Will Shape The Future Of Brisbane”.
