With the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games drawing closer, Noosa is being called to the starting line—not just as spectators, but as active participants in shaping the region’s future. In a special event hosted by the Noosa Chamber of Commerce & Industry, local business owners and resident business members will have the chance to hear directly from Andrew Powell MP, Queensland’s Minister for Tourism and Environment, about the State’s vision for 2032 and what it means for Noosa.
Titled The Olympics and Our Region: Noosa 2032, the event will spotlight the Sunshine Coast’s role on the world stage and explore how Noosa can leverage the Games to drive investment, tourism, and regional development. Minister Powell will outline Queensland’s strategic plans and offer insights into how local businesses can prepare to benefit from this global opportunity.
Joining the Minister is a lineup of influential speakers who bring diverse perspectives on the Games and their potential impact:
• Roz White, Chair, and Mal Brough, Deputy Chair of Sunshine Coast 2032, will discuss regional opportunities for business and investment.
• Matt Stoeckel, CEO of Visit Sunshine Coast, will share strategies for engaging with the Games momentum to boost tourism and economic growth.
• Larry Sengstock, four-time Olympian and former professional basketballer, will offer a personal reflection on the Olympic journey—from funding dreams to life after competition.
With the countdown to 2032 underway, now is the time for Noosa’s business community to be inspired, informed, and ready to collaborate. Whether you’re a local entrepreneur, tourism operator, or community leader this conversation is one not to be missed.
The event is on Tuesday 25 November from 5.30-7.30pm at Noosa Boathouse. Members $10, non members $15.
