Olympic and Paralympic Games Office

We bring Games partners together to coordinate planning and delivery for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, align planning and delivery responsibilities, and support shared decision-making to help deliver a world-class Games that creates lasting benefits for Queensland communities.

The Olympic and Paralympic Games Office:
  • coordinates planning across Games partners, helping align responsibilities, activities and priorities in preparation for the 2032 Games
  • supports Queensland’s obligations as a signatory to the Olympic Host Contract and helps administer the Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games Arrangements Act 2021
  • brings Games partners together through shared governance arrangements that support effective oversight, collaboration and timely decision-making as preparations for the Games progress.

Games Coordination

The 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games (the 2032 Games) represent a once-in-a-generation opportunity for Queensland, Australia and the Oceania region.

All of Queensland, as well as the nation, is part of the story. Our communities will not only host competitions, cheer the Olympic and Paralympic torch relays and celebrate together at local and national events, but will also benefit from new infrastructure, jobs, cultural programs and global attention.

Who does what

Preparing for and delivering the 2032 Games is a shared effort across a connected system, guided by requirements set by the International Olympic Committee and International Paralympic Committee, in collaboration with International Sport Federations. Each partner has a defined role in planning, preparing for, delivering and supporting the 2032 Games.

  • Lead for whole-of-Games governance, state services and operations, and infrastructure delivery.

  • Build the sports stage.

    Deliver major infrastructure, including new and upgraded sporting venues and supporting infrastructure.

How we make decisions

Strong leadership and oversight are essential to ensure the 2032 Games are delivered with accountability, transparency and confidence. Decisions are made through the Games Leadership Group and Games Executive group, which oversee delivery and coordination.

The governance framework brings together governments, the Organising Committee and other partners under clear structures to support shared decision-making, effective oversight and efficient coordination.

This ensures major decisions are made collectively, progress is tracked and issues are resolved quickly. Each partner also manages its own detailed planning and operations, with ongoing collaboration across the Games delivery network.

Together, these efforts create an integrated approach to delivering a world-class Games and a lasting legacy. Governance is underpinned by principles designed to foster trust, inclusivity, transparency and accountability, while aligning stakeholders with a shared vision for the success of the 2032 Games.

The journey ahead

The 2032 Games are planned and delivered across three horizons. Planning for the Games, preparing cities and shaping legacy outcomes all begin early and continue across the three horizons.

  • Major decisions in Horizon 1 establish the foundations for the 2032 Games, including permanent infrastructure plans, community programs and measures to maximise the post-Games legacy. This horizon also focuses on developing the key strategies and plans that will guide Games delivering, including:

    • Games Delivery Plan
    • Games Governance Model
    • Sport programme confirmed by IOC.

  • Focuses on operational planning, testing and readiness for Games-time. Infrastructure delivery continues, while Games-time services and operations, such as workforce, transport, health, energy, security and city operations ramp up.

    Legacy delivery and impact also continue alongside preparations for the 2032 Games.

  • Immediately following the 2032 Games, wind-down and decommissioning activities will occur. These may include the removal of temporary Games-related equipment, overlay and resources, and the transition of venues and community spaces to their intended post-Games use.

    Post-Games programs will also be delivered across Games Delivery Partners to evaluate outcomes and ensure long-term legacy commitments are transitioned and delivered.
