Preparation works begin on the new Logan Indoor Sports Centre

Works have commenced on the transformation of the old Logan PCYC site into the new Logan Indoor Sports Centre, a key venue for the 2032 Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games and beyond.

Demolition of old structures is now underway to prepare the site for the construction of the new 7,000 spectator, nine-court venue that will provide a community sporting legacy for the young people, families and wider community.

This is a significant step forward in the delivery of one of Queensland’s largest multi-purpose indoor sports centres and 2032 Games venues.

“This is the largest ever investment in sport infrastructure in Logan’s history and will go a long way towards addressing local demand for high-quality sport facilities.

“A nine-court venue capable of holding 7,000 spectators will change the face of sport in Logan and make a real difference for thousands of kids who will play and compete here, and I’m so proud of the role of the Albanese Government has played in making it a reality,” Federal Treasurer and Member for Rankin Jin Chalmers said.

“The Games are now back on track and the work underway here on one of the key venues is a key delivery milestone, and more evidence of the major strides forward we are making in the build for the Games and beyond.

“Communities right across Queensland are benefitting from the Crisafulli Government’s 2032 Delivery Plan which will leave an incredible sport and community legacy long after the Games,” Deputy Premier and Minister for State Development, Infrastructure and Planning Jarrod Bleijie said.

Once completed, Logan Indoor Sports Centre will be able to host a wide range of indoor sports during the 2032 Games such as ball sports, boxing, martial arts and Para sports. The 2032 Games events will be confirmed later this year.

After the Games, the Centre will give local schools, clubs and community groups access to world-class facilities, which will encourage a new generation of athletes and more active Queenslanders.

The beginning of demolition on site is a key milestone for the project, with planning works progressing towards approvals including EPBC. Meanwhile, the principal design contractor for the new Centre is set to be announced soon.

The Logan Indoor Sports Centre is part of the $7.1 billion Games Venues Infrastructure Program jointly funded by the Australian and Queensland Governments. The program will deliver 17 new and upgraded venues across the State by the Games Independent Infrastructure and Coordination Authority (GIICA).

“Growing communities like Logan are built around hubs like this new indoor sports centre, which will provide a place for the community to come together during the Games and beyond.

“That’s the ongoing benefit of the Albanese Government’s investment in the Games Venues Infrastructure Program, helping to build not just sporting venues but stronger and more-connected communities,” Federal Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government Catherine King said.

“This is the start of a new era for this site.

“As a community, we’re incredibly excited to be part of the Games, and a venue as versatile as this is guaranteed to be well loved by our whole fast-growing community,” City of Logan Mayor Jon Raven said.

“GIICA continues to drive forward with the delivery of our venues and the demolition work at Logan today marks another milestone in our busy program.

“The Logan Indoor Sports Centre is an important part of our delivery program of 17 new and upgraded venues across Queensland,” Games Independent Infrastructure and Coordination Authority CEO Simon Crooks said.
