Government reveals proposed design for new aquatics centre for 2032 Games

The Australian state government has announced the selection of three architectural firms—ARM Architecture, NH Architecture, and Arkhefield—to design the new National Aquatics Centre for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Brisbane. The facility, located at Centenary Pool in Spring Hill, will feature a wave-shaped roof and is expected to accommodate up to 25,000 spectators during the Games, with a legacy capacity of 8,000 seats. Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie emphasized the project’s long-term benefits for community sports and high-performance athletes, stating the $7.1 billion funding commitment remains unchanged despite concerns about potential cost overruns. The site will be taken over by the Games Independent Infrastructure and Coordination Authority (GIICA) on September 1, marking the start of early construction work.
