EOIS for vital Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games project have been released
By Kirra Livingstone
THE new $142 million Sunshine Coast Indoor Sports Centre project has reached a major milestone, with EOIs for the Managing Contractor and Principal Consultant officially released to market.
The procurement process will see shortlisting and invitations to tender later this year with works expected to begin in late 2025, now that the EOIs have been released to the market.
This follows the EOIs released earlier this year for the $148 million Sunshine Coast Stadium upgrade and $215 million new Chandler Indoor Sports Centre and Precinct Works.
More than 20 expressions of interest were received from qualified and capable principal consultants and managing contractors for the project.
Brisbane 2032 Organising Committee President, Andrew Liveris, said this is another significant step forward in the delivery of tangible legacy for the Sunshine Coast.
The new centre is earmarked to host Olympic basketball preliminaries during the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, with a minimum of 6,000 spectator seats.
Additionally, the upgraded Sunshine Coast Stadium is earmarked to host football preliminaries and quarter-final matches during the Games.
The venue is located within the Kawana Sports Precinct and will have 11 multi-sport courts and multifunctional areas that can be used daily by aspiring athletes for a range of indoor sports including basketball, netball, volleyball, pickleball, futsal and badminton before and after the Games.
The planning, design and construction of this project will create more than 480 full-time equivalent jobs.
