Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) President John Coates says Brisbane 2032 is on the final lap, with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) conducting due diligence ahead of confirming the city as host of the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Coates made the comments during his address to AOC members at the organisation’s Annual General Meeting today.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced Brisbane as its preferred bidder for the 2032 Games in March.
The project took its latest step forward in April when Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison pledged the Federal Government will cover half the costs, adding contributions from state and local Governments.
