What sustainable design features and community integration strategies are being considered for the development of the 2032 Brisbane Athlete Village to ensure it leaves a lasting positive impact on both the athletes and the local community?

Answered by Paul Harvey on September 14, 2025

Dear Abbie Aleksahkin,

Thank you for your inquiry about the sustainable design features and community integration strategies for the 2032 Brisbane Athlete Village.

The development is committed to incorporating a range of sustainable design features to ensure a lasting positive impact. These include energy-efficient buildings, use of renewable energy sources, and water conservation systems. Additionally, the project aims to utilize sustainable materials and incorporate green spaces to enhance biodiversity.

For community integration, the plan includes transforming the Athlete Village into permanent dwellings post-Games, addressing local housing needs. There will also be a focus on creating community spaces and amenities that encourage social interaction and inclusivity, ensuring the area remains vibrant and beneficial to the local community long after the event.

We are dedicated to ensuring that the development not only meets the needs of the athletes during the Games but also contributes positively to the local community in the long term.

Best regards,
