MAYOR’S FOREWORD Welcome to the City of Ipswich, a proud co-host for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Centrally positioned between the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, and neighbouring Brisbane, Ipswich is perfectly placed to welcome the world. With a sub-tropical climate and seamless connectivity across South-East Queensland, our city offers the ideal environment for elite teams seeking focus and performance. Ipswich is home to world-class sporting infrastructure, including the Brighton Homes Arena – a confirmed Olympic venue – and the Redbank Plains Skate Park. These facilities, along with our growing network of high-performance training centres and multi-sport precincts, make Ipswich a compelling destination for national and international teams. But we’re just getting started. Over the coming years, Ipswich will continue to invest in cutting-edge sports infrastructure, athlete accommodation, and community-led legacy programs, ensuring the Games leave a lasting impact for generations to come. Ipswich’s sporting culture runs deep. From grassroots clubs to world champions, sport here is more than competition, it’s about connection, pride, and community. World champions have grown up on our fields, courts, and tracks, and we’re ready to welcome the next. Teresa Harding Mayor
