The Queensland Government has released Queensland Spirit: The Road to 2032, a new statewide strategy designed to strengthen community sport, supporting athletes, and build a long-term legacy as Queensland prepares for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Developed through extensive consultation with Queenslanders; including 2,000 survey responses, 90 written submissions, and community forums across nine regional centres – the strategy outlines a clear plan to grow participation, improve infrastructure, and position Queensland as the home of Australian sport.

Four Strategic Priorities

  • New investment in the Games On! Grassroots Infrastructure Program.
  • Grants for clubs to purchase equipment and deliver training.
  • Ongoing disaster recovery support for affected communities.

This priority focuses on ensuring clubs have the facilities and resources they need to thrive.

The Home of Australian Sport

  • Funding to attract major sporting organisations and events to Queensland.
  • Record investment and funding certainty for sporting organisations through the new Sporting Partnerships Fund.

This aims to grow Queensland’s reputation as a national sporting hub.

Play on! – Supporting Kids and Talent Pathways

  • $200 Sports Vouchers to help more children participate in sport.
  • Play On! Learn to Swim vouchers of up to $150 for eligible children aged 0-4.
  • A new Grassroots to Gold program to strengthen talent pathways.

This priority supports families, encourages participation, and builds future champions.

Beyond 2032 – Expanding Access and Opportunities

  • Collaboration across government, private and community sectors to unlock more places and spaces for Queensland to get active.
  • New initiatives to promote the positive impact of sport.
  • Expansion of Sport HQ to better support volunteers.

This priority focused on long-term sustainability and community benefit beyond the Games.

A Legacy for Queensland Communities

The strategy aims to deliver greater participation, improved accessibility, stronger pathways, and enhanced infrastructure – ensuring Queenslanders benefit from the momentum of Brisbane 2032 and beyond.
