Inquiry into the Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games Arrangements Amendment Bill 2024
OIC welcomes the opportunity to make a submission to the Housing, Big Build and Manufacturing Committee’s (Committee) inquiry into the Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games Arrangements Amendment Bill 2024 (Bill).
OIC notes the Games Venue and Legacy Delivery Authority (authority) will have a close relationship with the Brisbane Organising Committee for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games (corporation). For instance, under clause 20, new section 53BI, the president of the board of the corporation is responsible for helping the board of the authority perform its functions. The president may attend the board’s meetings and participate in the board’s deliberations but may not vote at the meetings. The authority must also co-operate with the corporation in performing its functions (new section 53AE) and consult with the chief executive officer of the corporation in preparing the transport and mobility strategy (new section 53AJ).
