Noosa residents are invited to attend an expert panel discussion hosted by Peregian residents’ association Peregian Family & Friends Inc, titled Olympics 2032 – what does it mean for Noosa?.
“The Olympic Games is the biggest sporting event on earth and the Paralympic Games is the greatest showcase of how participation in sport provides positive social and physical benefits to people with disabilities and plays an important role in changing community perceptions of people with disabilities. “In 2032, they are both coming to South East Queensland,” organisation president Leigh McCready said.
“Our committee invites members and guests to join with fellow community members to hear about how both Games will benefit Noosa and the broader Sunshine Coast.
“Hear from Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart who will describe how the shire is getting ready for the Games, from Olympian Duncan Armstrong who has seen first-hand the benefits hosting the Olympics brings to a community, including to its athletes and volunteers, and from Andrew Brodie, who as CEO of the Sunshine Coast Airport will enable access and business opportunities to local companies and industries to leverage positive and lasting benefits from the Games.”
Following a brief annual general meeting to appoint organisation’s 2023 executive committee, the three panellists will be invited to reflect on the future Games and how Noosa can make the most of this one-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The panel will be moderated by Ms McCready, who along with Duncan Armstrong, sit on the board of Sunshine Coast 2032, the organisation created to be the voice of the Sunshine Coast community with regards to the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Drinks and snacks will be served at the event to be held at Peregian Surf Club on Tuesday 13 December from 5pm.
While the event is free, registration is required at events.humanitix.com/olympic-2032-and-peregian-family-and-friends-agm
