Brisbane Making our Mark is our legacy engagement program. We invited residents to share their initiatives, programs and ideas that we could include in legacy planning as Host City of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Brisbane Making our Mark
The Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic City create a once-in-a-generation opportunity to shape an even better Brisbane.
Brisbane Beyond the Games - Brisbane's legacy plan
While Brisbane gears up to host the world’s premier event, the benefits are already flowing to locals and businesses alike.
Hosting the Games is about much more than 4 weeks of spectacular sport. It’s about building a legacy that begins well before 2032 and lasts long after. People from across Brisbane have shared a strong desire to use the Games as a catalyst for positive change.
Brisbane Beyond the Games – Brisbane's Legacy Plan highlights the opportunities that will enhance our lifestyle, improve connectivity and encourage more active and healthy communities.
The plan sets out our commitment to work alongside business, industry, community and all levels of government to turn ideas into action and deliver a legacy that will benefit all of Brisbane.
Delivering our legacy together
Achieving our legacy will require a collective effort. Whether it’s unlocking investment, leveraging partnerships, enabling shared stewardship or introducing innovative delivery models, we invite industry, community organisations, partners and residents to play a role in shaping and delivery our legacy.
To help fast-track legacy projects across the city and suburbs we have established the Brisbane Legacy Partnerships Program. This will help us unlock investment and delivery legacy initiatives ahead of the Games.
If you would like to partner with Council, register your interest and join us in delivering lasting legacy initiatives.
Voices of Brisbane - legacy ideas
We invited some of our city’s youth, residents, businesses and sports people to share their voice on ideas that could benefit our city for decades to come.
These ideas were shared with the community for public voting, and people were also invited to provide feedback or contribute their own ideas.
Community voting and feedback closed on Sunday 15 March 2026. Thank you to everyone who became involved by exploring, liking, sharing and adding to the legacy ideas.
The ideas shared have informed Brisbane Beyond the Games – Brisbane's Legacy Plan.
Our path to legacy
Our legacy journey spans from now until 2042 — covering the lead-up to the Games and the 10 years after.
We've moved to the planning phase and are delivering early legacy initiatives.
What makes a great legacy initiative
To help us on our legacy journey, we’ve outlined 4 key criteria for legacy initiatives that align to our Games legacy.
Legacy initiatives will:
- accelerate Brisbane’s environment, lifestyle, transport, community and economy
- deliver before and beyond the Games through sustainable long-term outcomes
- deliver beyond the venues to provide a more equitable Brisbane where everyone benefits
- be uniquely Brisbane by building the city’s global identity while enhancing our subtropical lifestyle and distinct characteristics.
The ideas generated through Brisbane Marking our Mark helped shape our legacy plan. We will work with the community, businesses, industry and other government agencies to create a Brisbane of tomorrow that's even better than the Brisbane of today.

Frequently asked questions
"Legacy includes the long-term benefits (tangible and intangible) of the Olympic Games that serve the host city, its people, and the Olympic Movement before, during and long after the Olympic Games.
The Olympic Games can leave an array of legacies within a host city, covering not only sport but also social, economic and environmental gains. Some benefits can be experienced well before the Opening Ceremony even takes place while others may not be seen until years after the Games have ended."
The International Olympic Committee
We are committed to leading local legacy initiatives to ensure the incredible opportunities presented by hosting the Games are maximised and delivering lasting benefits for Brisbane residents and businesses.
The Games is our catalyst to enhancing our environment, lifestyle, community and economy, creating opportunities for generations to come.
We are playing a major role in getting the city ready for the Games, from city activations and visitor services, through to traffic management and waste services.
We're also delivering legacy outcomes for residents, the community and businesses in the lead up to, and in the 10+ years beyond the Games. We are collaborating with all levels of government and organisations to bring the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games to life.
