The Lockyer Valley will be selling itself to the world if Brisbane secures the 2032 Olympic Games, advocating for a significant role in hosting major sports.
With it’s close proximity to Brisbane, and world class facilities already established, the Lockyer Valley would be “well placed” to have a hosting role in many of the Olympic sports, according to Lockyer MP Jim McDonald.
Mr McDonald said he would be advocating for a “significant role” if Brisbane were announced to be the hosts of the 2032 games and said it would be a “great opportunity” for the region.
The Indoor Equestrian Centre in Gatton and its partnership with the University of Queensland was touted as an ideal role for the Lockyer Valley to play.
