THE site of a world-class new indoor centre that will be enjoyed by the Sunshine Coast community before, during and long after the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, has been revealed.
As planning steps up for the Games, Kawana has been chosen for an exciting sporting expansion that will boost a range of clubs and also benefit business, tourism and allied health providers.
Sunshine Coast Council, in conjunction with Brisbane 2032 Games Delivery Partners, will deliver a new international indoor sports centre that will have capacity for 11 courts and the ability to convert to a 6000-seat show court.
It is expected to be up and running in 2027 and funded by the Australian and Queensland Governments under their Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games funding agreement with the cost to be determined once the design process is completed.
Deputy Premier Steven Miles and Sunshine Coast Council Mayor Mark Jamieson on Wednesday (February 1) jointly announced the new centre plus an expansion of the outdoor Sunshine Coast Stadium, aquatic centre and Sunshine Coast Sports Hub.
