Queensland’s Olympic hopefuls have received a major boost on the road to the Tokyo 2020 Games, with the Queensland Government committing $600,000 to the Queensland Olympic Council fundraising appeal.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk will launch the campaign to raise funds for the Australian Olympic Team Queensland Appeal Committee, with the target of $1.1 million for Queensland out of a total of $8 million nationally.
Ms Palaszczuk says the funds raised will go towards preparing, outfitting and sending Queensland’s team to the Games.
