That group’s chair, Brisbane Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner, said regional voices were key to delivering a positive Olympic legacy for Queensland, not just Brisbane.
“Expanding the host mayors advisory group means more local voices helping shape a Games that benefits communities across our state,” he said.
Brisbane 2032 president Andrew Liveris said the groups represented their communities, and were an essential part of the planning process.
“There is an incredible amount of support and goodwill across Queensland and beyond to ensure that our home Games are successful and, importantly, drive meaningful and lasting legacies for local communities,” Liveris said.
The Queensland government shrunk the size of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games Organising Committee Board in July from 24 members to 15.
When announcing the advisory groups on October 3, Liveris said they would be pivotal to sharpening the vison of the Games.
“There is an incredible amount of knowledge, goodwill and desire to accelerate progress and deliver lasting legacies across the initial four advisory groups and I look forward to working closely with members in the years ahead,” he said.
