An active city with a love of sport
Our city is a natural fit to host sporting events and training with a variety of professional-level facilities across a range of disciplines.
We hosted the 2018 Commonwealth Games, leaving a legacy of world-class infrastructure that has taken our reputation as an active city to a whole new level.
The city is a hub of sporting excellence across high-performance training, international sport events, education, sport science, specialised clinicians, coaching staff, sport management, and product manufacturing.
The Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games Master Plan outlines Olympic and Paralympic sports occurring across our city, including 6 of the city’s major venues.
