The Queensland and federal governments have signed off on a record $7.1 billion infrastructure package for the 2023 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Brisbane—the largest investment in sporting facilities in Australian history.
The deal includes a $3.4 billion federal contribution and finalises months of negotiation over how to fund the Games’ venue program, which will overhaul stadiums and build new facilities across the state.
