GREEN AND GOLD PATHWAY
blueprint australian industry trade college
Olympics to provide green and gold pathway for trade opportunities
HOSTING THE GAMES WILL CREATE AN OLYMPIC LEGACY FOR BRISBANE THAT MEANS MORE THAN A FEW WEEKS OF SPORT – IT WILL PROVIDE A 10-YEAR ‘GREEN AND GOLD’ RUNWAY TO 2032 AND A 10-YEAR LEGACY AFTERWARDS.
MASTERPLAN OUTLINE
According to Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner “Brisbane will benefit from jobs, tourism, trade, and an estimated $8.1 billion boost to the Queensland economy.” This means our AITC young people, and supporting employers, have the potential to benefit across a variety of trades including construction, hospitality, marketing and events.
Brisbane will be home to 18 of the 32 Olympic competition venues and key non-competition venues including the International Broadcast Centre, Main Press Centre and Olympic and Paralympic Games Athlete’s Village. With many venues in close proximity to the AITC campuses, there will be partnership businesses already bidding for contracts in the areas listed below (masterplan outline). This opens up an opportunity to align the AITC with those partners (e.g. Cross River Rail) and linking AITC values to Olympic ethos.
City-shaping projects like the Brisbane Metro, Green Bridges and the transformation of Victoria Park are already underway and will be important infrastructure, ensuring Brisbane is ready for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
