AUSTRALIA’S peak aquatic sports have joined forces to submit a proposal to build a world-leading National Aquatics Centre at Victoria Park in Brisbane as a legacy piece ahead of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Swimming Australia, Diving Australia, Water Polo Australia and Artistic Swimming Australia have delivered a proposal to the Games Independent Infrastructure and Coordination Authority (GIICA) as part of the Queensland Government’s 100 Day Review into the Brisbane Games.
The submission, which is backed by the Australian Olympic Committee, Paralympics Australia and World Aquatics, would see Centenary Pool upgraded and complemented by a new main and secondary stadium featuring two large indoor pools that would act as a national base to host the four peak aquatic sports.
Additionally, the National Aquatics Centre (NAC) would be a community hub providing grassroot access for year-round use, from hosting school carnivals and learn-to-swim classes through to major event capability such as world championships for the leading aquatic sports.
