Queensland Games Minister headed to US for planning talks

Queensland Minister for the Olympic and Paralympic Games, Tim Mander, will travel the United States this week to participate in key meetings and events focused on the 2032 Games delivery, venue infrastructure and long-term legacy outcomes. 

Minister Mander (pictured) will be joined by a delegation of Olympians, Paralympians, government, sport and tourism leaders for the visit.

“The United States is preparing to host not only the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games, but also the 2026 FIFA World Cup – the two biggest sporting events in the world,” Mr Mander said. 

“It’s critical that we learn from like-minded host nations so we can deliver the best possible Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2032. 

“I’m looking forward to meeting with a range of key stakeholders, including the LA28 Organising Committee, the American Australian Association and AECOM – the official venue infrastructure partner for LA2028 and a member of our 2032 venue delivery consortium – as well as participate in the Indo Pacific Forum. 

“This visit is an opportunity to share expertise on venue delivery, legacy planning and infrastructure investment, allowing discussions that will help us to strengthen relationships in the United States and across the Pacific to ensure we deliver lasting benefits for Queenslanders.”
