What does it take to host an Olympic Games that leaves more than just memories?

In this bite-sized episode, Ashurst’s Andrew McCormack revisits insights from the 2032 and Beyond series, shining a spotlight on Brisbane 2032’s ambitious sustainability and legacy goals.

The episode emphasises that the legacy of the Games extends far beyond the venues themselves. From the creation of green spaces to job opportunities, Brisbane’s long-term strategy is being designed with the future in mind, ensuring the community continues to benefit long after the final medal has been awarded. “The one thing the organising committee has really done well from the beginning is set strict, best-practice sustainability standards for all the infrastructure projects,” says Ashurst Risk Advisory Director, Mike Duggan.
