Prime minister Scott Morrisson will meet with Premier Annastacia Palszczuk and Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner in Townsville this week to discuss Queensland’s bid for the 2032 Olympics.

Cr Schrinner welcomed Ms Palazczuk’s decision to put the Queensland government’s support behind the games, believing it will create “opportunities right across the state for economic and social benefits.”

The meeting will address the need to ensure the games are not a detriment to Queensland with Cr Schrinner stating the plan was to match the infrastructure expenditure to the needs of a growing state.
