With less than 10 years before the Brisbane 2032 opening ceremonies, a voluntary community board and committee has been appointed, under the leadership of businesss woman Roz White, to maximise opportunities before during and after the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
With deputies Duncan Armstrong OAM and Brendan Burkett OAM, Ms White this week announced the members of the Sunshine Coast 2032 board and committee.
Roz White says the high-powered group of athletes, businesspeople and community leaders was committed to ensuring the Sunshine Coast and Noosa Regions make the most of the social, economic, and environmental gains on offer.
“The road to Brisbane 2032 is paved with opportunities, from infrastructure and community, to showcasing our beautiful home to the world. It’s up to us to leverage that potential,” she said.
“The games aren’t just about 2032; the positive outcomes from the games will be felt for decades to come.”
The Sunshine Coast 2032 Board members are Roz White, Duncan Armstrong, Brendan Burkett, Simone Pearce, Danielle Smith, Kerry Neill, Dawn-Lorraine Fraser and Leigh McCready.
The Sunshine Coast 2032 leadership group, heading various committees, includes: Kaitlyn Akers and Min Swan (Community & Volunteers), Melanie Anderson and Jennifer Swaine (Business & Tourism), Megyn Carpenter (Environment & Sustainability), Blake Cochrane (Sport & Recreation / Ambassador), Dane Cross and Andrew Ryan (Infrastructure), Ferre de Deyne and Dianne Swan (Arts & Culture), Kylie Ezzy and John Williams (Communications) and Alana Quade (Sport & Recreation / Ambassador).
Ms White said the committees would be the voices of the Sunshine Coast community, identifying partnership opportunities for business, industry and sporting groups and bringing the benefits of the Olympic and Paralympic games to life.
“This is a unique opportunity to prioritise the Sunshine Coast in the games of 2032. Let’s dream big, together,” she said.
