Subscriber only A funding promise has put Queensland in the box seat for the 2032 Olympics and made major Sunshine Coast venue and rail projects look more viable. This week Queensland s bid to host the Olympics took a giant leap forward with an offer from the Federal Government to fund half of the costs of major infrastructure needed for the mega event. The Sunshine Coast is expected to play a vital role if Brisbane is successful in its bid, with the region tipped to host several events. The funding promise could help secure several long-awaited projects for the Sunshine Coast including a faster rail link between Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast, upgrades to the Kawana stadium and a convention and performing arts centre at Maroochydore CBD.
