Brisbane residents have backed their top five legacy ideas for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games with 24-hour precincts, shady tree-lined paths, and improved public transport toping the list.
Almost 20,0000 votes were cast for the ideas designed to shape the city before, during and after the Games have finished.
The top five legacy ideas Brisbane people favour are:
The Green Grid, connecting venues and destinations with safe, shaded links
The Low Line, transforming underused space into an activated precinct
24-hour precincts, to boost the night-time economy
Brisbane Metro expansion, delivering more turn-up-and-go services
Loving the Leftovers, creating urban sports parks from underused land
Locals voted and shared their feedback on the 56 ideas from residents, young people, businesses, community leaders, and sporting figures listed in the Brisbane City Council’s Making Our Mark campaign.
The feedback will be incorporated into the City of Brisbane Legacy Plan to be released later this year – a blueprint for developers, the private sector, and governments.
Brisbane Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner said the council was excited to help turn these ideas into real outcomes for Brisbane in partnership with other levels of the government, industry, and community groups.
“This goes far beyond four weeks of sport, it’s about building a legacy our city and suburbs will benefit from for generations,” Cr Schrinner said in a statement.
“Brisbane has spoken and we’re ready to help deliver a world-class legacy for 2032 and beyond.”

Better get on it quickly if they want the tree lined streets to actually have shade by 2032. Trees don’t exactly grow overnight
Looks like a load of shit. Metro expansion would have been better. Metro to chermside at MINIMUM is required.
The legacy of this games will be higher rents, houses and rates and not much else to show for it.
The government published this earlier in the year. It has many of the concepts from the grid strategy. A bridge linking Petrie Tce with Roma St Parklands looks pretty amazing.
