Delivering the Construction Infrastructure for Brisbane 2032 Games

Summary

Please note: this event is for over 18’s only.

Senior consultant and construction project management appointments for Brisbane 2032 Games infrastructure are already well underway making the central question for many in the industry: “What opportunities, if any, still remain?”

For consultants, contractors, and business leaders hoping to participate in Games‑related projects, clarity is crucial. Without it, organisations risk missing the narrow and rapidly closing window to secure involvement in what may be the most significant economic and construction event Brisbane will experience this century.

The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) has recognised this dire need in industry for insight and information and has convened a panel of experts with outstanding credentials in relations to Games delivery to answer the big questions…your questions! This is part of the CIOB President, Paul Gandy FCIOB and Chief Executive, Dr Victoria Hills, visit to Australia
