What does Legacy mean for Queensland?

This seminar will kick off the Olympics legacy series by unpacking what is meant by legacy and what is hoped to be achieved by the work done by the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games Legacy Committee and Brisbane City Council. Our speakers will bring their experience from other events both domestically and internationally and address topics such as First Nations involvement in the Games, what Brisbane City Council is planning for and what lessons can be learnt from the 2012 London Olympic Games.
