The Ipswich City Council has released its Olympic Games roadmap; Leveraging 2032: Our Roadmap to the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Mayor Teresa Harding says the roadmap will aim to bring top-class sports and entertainment venues and facilities, mass public transport, hotels and tourists to the city.
The roadmap was launched at Brighton Homes Arena, Ipswich’s 2032 Games venue scheduled to host modern pentathlon. Mayor Harding, Chair of the 12-member Ipswich 2032 Legacy Working Group, said Ipswich was now well positioned to secure 2032 legacies to enhance the quality of life for our community.
“The roadmap highlights opportunities that we know will deliver outcomes for this community,” Mayor Harding said.
“Sport is a powerful driver. It brings us together, improves health and well-being, and builds positive and productive communities. However, the 2032 Games is far more than just a sporting event.
“Our community has highlighted transport connectivity as the most important legacy outcome for our city, ensuring we are connected to each other and our neighbouring councils in a safe, efficient and reliable way.”
The development plan will include updated public transport, focusing on connections between Springfield and Ipswich, as well as major upgrades to key sporting facilities. The council is placing a key focus on transport opportunities that address the needs of a growing city and service existing communities as well as supporting the future games.
