Project Background

On 21 July 2021 and at a ceremony in Tokyo, the IOC (International Olympic Committee) officially announced Brisbane as the third Australian city (after Melbourne and Sydney) to host the 2032 Summer Olympics and Paralympics games. Brisbane Opening Ceremony is now set for 23 July 2032 and will be held at The Gabba Stadium at the heart of Brisbane CBD. The scope of the work is all the construction and infrastructure projects have to be completed prior to hosting the events such as building new stadiums and venues, improving existing sport facilities and complex, construction of a brand-new Olympic village and improving the Brisbane roads and other infrastructure to host this massive global event. In this case, you should not only focus on the construction aspects of the project. You also need to look at the cultural, social, political and environmental factors contributing on this project.
