The City of Moreton Bay is set to gain a $205.5 million state-of-the-art legacy sporting facility which will also serve as a key venue for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

The Moreton Bay Indoor Sports Centre project has been endorsed by the Australian and Queensland governments, with a Project Validation Report (PVR) now complete and a green light given for procurement to begin.

Funding for the project will come from the joint $1.87 billion Queensland-Commonwealth Minor Venues Program, with a Project Validation Report summary released here.

The Australian and Queensland governments have jointly allocated funding from the $1.87 billion Minor Venues Program for investment in these projects.

The new facility is proposed to consist of 12 multi-sport courts (across two separate halls) with the flexibility to host sports including basketball, netball, boxing, volleyball, badminton, futsal, wheelchair rugby, pickleball before and after the Games.

Queensland Premier, Steven Miles, is focused on continuing to create legacy opportunities in Brisbane. 

“Here in Moreton Bay, we are set to gain a brand new $205 million Indoor Sports Centre – bigger and better than originally planned. This facility is earmarked to host the boxing events, will have 12 new courts and capacity for about 10,000 games come 2032,” said Miles. 

Basketball Queensland CEO, Joshua Pascoe, remains excited about the potential growth this could generate to the basketball community as we approach the 2032 games and beyond. 

“We are excited about the development of the Moreton Bay Indoor Sports Centre. This state-of-the-art facility is a game-changer for our sport, providing the infrastructure needed to support the growth of basketball in the region, and a great investment by all levels of Government in providing vital community infrastructure” said Joshua Pascoe
