Get Set to Bid for Billions in Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games’ Contracts
Queensland Premier David Crisafulli unveiled the state government’s “2032 Delivery Plan” for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games venues and infrastructure, Tuesday 25 March.
Emphasising that “infrastructure delivery is as important as the Games themselves”, the Premier revealed what will be the largest investment in infrastructure in Queensland history.
The state and federal governments have agreed on a $7 billion Games’ funding deal which involves the Commonwealth contributing around $3.5 billion.
The 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games are scheduled to commence 23 July 2032 – just seven years from now, so it’s imperative that businesses involved in construction, building supplies, equipment, security, IT, personnel, training, catering and other industries should be proactive in harnessing the gold-standard tech resources for tendering.
AutogenAI’s bid, grants and proposal writing software aims to streamline the tendering process. It significantly reduces time by employing natural language processing for rapid, clear, and concise bid draft generation, streamlining the process by days per bid, a critical advantage for time-sensitive construction and infrastructure delivery.
AutogenAI tailors content using in-built technologies to analyse bid requirements and seamlessly incorporate win themes, increasing the likelihood of success for contracts where precision and customisation are key.
In terms of value to taxpayers, if these initial bid writing costs can be reduced and used in the actual project, it represents the most efficient use of taxpayers’ money.
Worth more than $7 billion, the 2023 Brisbane Olympic Games’ venues and infrastructure plan comprises a new Stadium, sports centres and Athletes Villages, as well as upgrades to existing venues in Brisbane and statewide, new rail lines, stations and bus corridors.
At the centre of the Games Plan will be a new Brisbane Stadium, a 63,000-seat venue to be built at Victoria Park. This was chosen after considerable analysis of cost, time and future benefits.
A new National Aquatic Centre will be built on the site of the current Centenary Pool, which will consist of 25,000 seat capacity venue and multiple pools.
Other highlights include a major upgrade of the RNA Showgrounds to include an Athletes village and 20,000 seat outdoor arena to host key events. The Queensland Tennis Centre will be upgraded with a new 3,000 seat arena and 12 match courts, which will bring more tournaments to Brisbane as part of the legacy of the Games.
The 2032 Games will spread the benefits to the regions, with new structures, revitalised existing infrastructure and investment in roads and transport.
The Plan includes new and accessible facilities at Logan and Moreton Bay, a new whitewater rafting centre at Redlands, as well as a transformation of the Toowoomba showgrounds into Equestrian Centre of Excellence.
The Brisbane Gold Coast rail line will be upgraded with faster trains and more stations, along with upgrades to the M1 and Coomera Connector. On the Gold Coast, there will be a new arena and Hockey Centre upgrade to host several events.
The Sunshine Coast will benefit from a new direct rail line and metro hub connecting to the airport, and Maroochydore CBD will welcome an Athletes Village, arena and cultural precinct.
Further “generational infrastructure” includes upgrades of the Bruce Highway, a Cairns Stadium upgrade to host Football and Basketball, upgrades to Harrop Park Mackay to host Cricket, Townsville stadium to host Football.
Rockhampton will welcome an Athletes Village and will host the rowing, Whitsundays will be the second venue for Sailing and Maryborough will host Archery.
It is envisaged that post-Games, Athletes Villages will become accessible and affordable housing, addressing the predicted population boom in the Sunshine State.
Delivering an Olympic Games “Queenslanders will be proud of” will prove a boon for businesses and organisations nationwide, as the state government commits to sourcing personnel, products and expertise for the construction required to host the Games of the 35th Olympiad.
