A year to remember
Last night Sunshine Coast 2032 marked a defining milestone with a celebratory end-of-year function at Matthew Flinders College.
The event celebrated a year of growth, momentum and progress as weshift from establishment to activation on the road to the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Over the past year, we’ve strengthened our role as a well connected, community-driven organisation, expanding partnerships, deepening engagement and building the governance needed to deliver a lasting legacy for our region.
With 70 Foundation Sponsors now on board and a rapidly growing network of community, industry and government partners, our regional impact continues to accelerate.
Chair Roz White shared that Sunshine Coast 2032 is now firmly positioned to start activating our local community, and championing outcomes that create long-term benefits for our whole region.
At last night’s gathering of sponsors, ambassadors, Board directors, athletes and community leaders, SC2032 Patron Duncan Armstrong joined Paralympic and Olympic athletes in acknowledging the organisation’s momentum and the opportunities ahead.
Duncan chaired a lively panel discussion during which fellow Olympic swimmer and new Sunshine Coaster Cate Campbell, Paralympic canoeist Curtis McGrath and Coast Para-triathlete Grace Brimelow spoke about personal Games experiences and the excitement ahead to Brisbane 2032. Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie gave an update on some of the key Games planning and infrastructure.
Sunshine Coast Mayor Rosanna Natoli focused on the boundless opportunities ahead for the region, its residents and visitors and shared her thoughts on the newly released Brisbane 2032 vision – Believe. Belong. Become. Brisbane 2032.
The foundations are strong. The community is engaged. Activation has begun — and the Sunshine Coast is ready to step into the decade of opportunity ahead.
