Brisbane 2032 celebrates six-year milestone

Brisbane 2032 organisers have celebrated six years to go until the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games with a special unveiling of the OMEGA Countdown Clock. 

Located in the heart of Brisbane’s Queen Street Mall, the OMEGA Countdown Clock is anticipated to become a landmark attraction, drawing thousands of visitors and Games fans in the years ahead while building excitement for Brisbane 2032 and serving as a lasting symbol of the countdown to Queensland hosting the Olympic and Paralympic Games.  

Brisbane 2032 Organising Committee President Andrew Liveris joined a host of the Games Delivery Partners and athletes including Brisbane Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner, Country Manager of The Swatch Group Australia Megan Parker and Olympian and OMEGA Ambassador Emma McKeon to celebrate the milestone. 

“Time has been ticking towards our Games and today, OMEGA has officially unveiled a Countdown Clock to aid us in remaining on track and reminding the world that in six years’ time, our city, state and nation will host the Olympic and Paralympic Games,” Liveris said. 

“We’ve achieved a lot to date and there’s plenty more that we’ll deliver together. From legacy infrastructure to Emblems revealed, our Sports Programme and venues confirmed to the design of medals, mascots and more. 

“The next six years will pass by quickly and OMEGA’s Countdown Clock revealed today makes our moment in time even more real.”

Counting down to Brisbane 2032

The Brisbane 2032 Paralympic Games will be the first edition of the Games held in Australia since Sydney 2000. The Paralympic Games will take place from 24 August to 5 September 2032.

Cr. Adrian Schrinner, the Lord Mayor of Brisbane, said, “This clock isn't just counting down the days until the Games. It's counting down to the next chapter in Brisbane's story. 

“Every day it ticks closer to 2032 is another reminder of the lasting legacy the Games will help us secure to make Brisbane an even better place to live. 

“The Olympic and Paralympic Games have never just been about four weeks of competition. They’re a once-in-a-generation opportunity to create a lasting legacy that will benefit Brisbane residents before, during and long after 2032.”
