How do we build a lasting transport legacy from the Games?

This seminar will discuss how transport can make or break a good event and transport infrastructure projects have the capability to transform a suburb, city or region. A well thought out transport plan is key to a successful event and can have last impacts into the future. So how do we ensure that the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games are leveraged to provide sustainable and beneficial legacies for Queensland? Our three speakers are all experts in the field of transport planning and will outline how a transport legacy can be achieved.
