It’s Games On! across Queensland, with hundreds of grassroots community clubs to benefit from upgrades, as part of the 2032 Delivery Plan.
Games On! ensures Queensland benefits from the Games to 2032 and beyond, with hundreds of grassroots clubs across the State to receive upgrades.
The $250 million Games On! investment is in addition to the $7.1 billion major venue infrastructure envelope and will deliver a major boost to community facilities. More than 100 community sporting clubs across the State have already been identified for planned upgrades to fields, pitches, courts and clubhouses, with more to come.
Premier David Crisafulli said Games On! was an investment in Queensland’s future, not only to 2032, but beyond.
“In the lead-up to 2032, we’ll invest in local sporting clubs so they can continue being the beating heart of Queensland communities,” Premier Crisafulli said.
“Our next generation of Olympians and Paralympians rely on grassroots clubs to hone their talents, and with Games On! they have every chance of reaching their potential.
“Our commitment is for the Games to deliver a legacy for all communities across Queensland, long after the Closing Ceremony, and with Games On! we do just that.”
Minister for Sport and Racing and Minister for the Olympic and Paralympic Games Tim Mander said Games On! put the spotlight on Queensland’s sporting potential.
“The Games On! program will inspire more Queenslanders of all ages to be more active, engage with their community, and participate in sport,” Minister Mander said.
“From Cairns to Currumbin, Longreach to Mount Isa, every corner of Queensland will benefit from our Games On! program.
“We want to make Queensland the undeniable home of Australian sport and this program will play a key role in our plan to achieve that.”
