City of Moreton Bay Mayor Peter Flannery welcomed today’s Olympic and Paralympic venue update by Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie.

“This Expression of Interest (EOI) by the Games Independent Infrastructure and Coordination Authority (GIICA) is an important milestone for our Moreton Bay Indoor Sports Centre,” Mayor Flannery said.

“The sprint towards success has well and truly started and I say loud and clear, we’re ready to go!

“This announcement provides real certainty for Council and accelerates the delivery of our new multi-use venue.

“Our planning has been well advanced so now we can keep the ball rolling.

“City of Moreton Bay has already made a significant contribution, committing the land, associated precinct works and connections as well as the project support team for delivery of this new venue.

“Now that GIICA has gone to market for a Principal Design Consultant we are well and truly in delivery phase. 

“We look forward to working with the Games delivery partners, including the State and Federal Governments, on some of the legacy enhancements required to deliver the best outcome for City of Moreton Bay residents. 

“We are keen to ensure the Moreton Bay Indoor Sports Centre potential prior to and after the Games can be realised. 

“With a 10,000-seat capacity, the venue will enliven the entire precinct at Petrie and lay the groundwork for future growth investment in our key Brisbane 2032 site.

City of Moreton Bay recently announced the earthworks and remediation tender to lay the foundation and groundwork for the site including construction of new roads and associated services. Works are due for completion by mid-2026.

The Moreton Bay Indoor Sports Centre will be one of South East Queensland’s largest and fully accessible multi-use sports centres.  

The venue will feature 12 indoor playing courts across two halls for sports including basketball, gymnastics, netball, volleyball, badminton, futsal, pickleball and wheelchair rugby before and after the Games.
