Hockey Queensland (HQ) and Hockey Australia (HA) are seeking the support of all political parties and candidates contesting the 2024 Queensland State Election in delivering a phased investment in critical infrastructure that will provide lasting benefits for the hockey community across Brisbane and regional Queensland, ensuring the sport’s legacy continues well after the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games (Brisbane 2032).
Hockey Major Infrastructure Feasability Study
HQ, in partnership with Hockey Australia (HA), have commissioned an independent feasibility study into Hockey’s major infrastructure requirements in Brisbane, not only to meet current and future needs, but also to develop a legacy for hockey from the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
HQ Submission to 60-Day-Review
The Premier of Queensland, the Honourable Steven Miles MP, commissioned a 60 day Independent Review to assess the suitability of current sports venue projects
identified in the Master Plan for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The Review was designed to assist the Queensland Government in ensuring investments made in sports venues for the hosting of the Games are affordable, fit-for-purpose, deliverable, and create a substantial legacy with benefits for our communities.
In co-operation with Hockey Australia, Hockey Queensland submitted a report towards the Review, highlighting that Brisbane, as a newly minted Olympic city, has no hockey facilities that could host an international hockey tournament and the need and plan for investment into hockey facilities.
