Introduction
Olympic 2028 is a dream for Australia as it can be very beneficial for the country as a whole.
The country is all ready with a perfect venue to ensure that the event is successfully
implemented. After much exploration, the government feels that there are multiple options
which can be explored across the country. The Olympics 2028 is the perfect time and this has
been finalized by the Australian government after considering the school holidays,
infrastructure and the weather conditions of the country. To add on, the nation is also putting
in efforts to ensure to take care of the legal requirements so that all the travellers are safe and
they can just concentrate on enjoyment1.
Venue for Olympic 2028
Considerations to finalize the venue
To finalize on the venue, the management will have to consider various factors to ensure that
all the requirements are met. Apart from that, the location should be such that the fans can
reach easily. Few of the factors that need to be considered while finalizing on the venue are
as follows: -
 The existing key facilities to ensure that the different set of games are planned and
conducted.
 Multiple locations would be selected to ensure that it covers complete Australia so
that people would be excited to view the event, when it happens2.
 The possibilities of upgrading or extending the available facilities.

 The infrastructure, sports facilities and also the accommodation opportunity needs to
be considered.
 Cost associated with the usage of the venue 3
 Also the cost associated with upgrading the venue to meet the requirements of the
players.
Feasible venue options

but there would be further short listing, before the final venue/s is confirmed. All the below
locations are in and around Brisbane to ensure that the events are centralized at one place so
that management is easy4.

Date of games
The exact date of each game is yet to be finalized by the management, but the dates would be
between July 15, 2028 and August 31, 2028. All the games would be scheduled and closed
within a period of 16 days. Few of the things that have been considered for fixing up on these
days are as follows: -
 July and August is the Australian Winter and this is the perfect time for the players to
concentrate on the game, without losing much of energy6.
 Term 2 holidays for school children would be there during this time period. This is
based on the 2016 and 2017 data and there are possibilities that there would be at least
some change in the Term 2 schedule in 20287.
 It is important that the event is organized while the schools aren’t working as this will
ensure that the traffic is less, the public transport will not be burdened as the number
of tourists in the country will also be high, and finally, this will also allow the event
organizer to use the school buses for transporting the tourists from one place to
another8.
 Also the climate at that point has been taken into consideration so that the players
aren’t distributed with wind, cold or rains.
o In Brisbane, in the month of July and August, the mean maximum (degrees
Celsius) would be 21.8 and 23.2. Similarly, the mean minimum (degrees
Celsius) would be 10.1 and 10.7 respectively.

o In Brisbane, in the month of July and August, the mean rainfall would be 23.7
and 41.2 respectively. The mean number of days, wherein the rain would be
less than 1 mm would be 3.3 in the month of July and 3.8 in the month of
August.
o The speed of the wind was also considered to come up with a safe plan. In the
month of July, the mean wind speed at 9 AM (KM/hr) would be 8.2 and the
mean wind speed at 3 PM (KM/hr) would be 11.3. In the month of August, the
mean wind speed at 9 AM (KM/hr) would be 8.5 and the mean wind speed at
3 PM (KM/hr) would be 13.59.
Transport infrastructure and systems
Transport infrastructure
Brisbane is well connected with various transport facilities like Airport, rail network and also
bus, but this opportunity will allow the government to improve the infrastructure of the nation
and this will ultimately benefit the country in the long run as well. At this point of time, the
government is putting in efforts to improve the infrastructure of the nation but if the
preparation is being done with the Olympics in mind, then the process would be quick with a
deadline in place. Few of the modes of transport that needs to be considered and improved by
the Australian government are as follows: -
 Brisbane airport – Brisbane airport is one of the most important ways to connect the
domestic and international audience. This airport is excellent now to serve the
existing needs, but it may not able to meet the Olympics requirement. The
government will have to improve on the terminal capacity, runway and apron. The

economics, 17, no. 1 (2014), pp. 1-12

government will also put in efforts to improvise the connectivity between the venue
and the airport10.
 Rail Network – The capacity of urban rail services in Australia needs to be improved
as the locales would be majorly dependent on this mode of transport to reach the
venue. Apart from that, the international people may also prefer this mode of transport
if they stay a little far from the venue.
 Bus Infrastructure – The bus infrastructure is important for the audiences and also for
the workers to reach to the venue. Along with the bus services, the shuttle services
can also be improved to ensure that maximum people reach the venue as per the plan.
The government will also have to ensure that the buses and shuttle services are
connected properly to meet the demand during the Olympics11.
 Road Infrastructure – Strengthening of road network is a mandate to host the
Olympics. The team will have to put efforts to identify the areas that would require
improvement and accordingly, the infrastructure needs to be improved.
Accommodation
The accommodation needs to be planned in the nearby locality so that the stakeholders can
reach the venue without spending much time on travel. The accommodation requirements for
the below list of people needs to be done12.
 Media professionals to capture the complete event

 International travelers who would be coming from other countries
 Domestic travelers who would staying a far from Brisbane
 Volunteers and workers who would be responsible for organizing and other activities
 Security personnel to ensure they are available easily in case of any emergency.
 Any other guest who would be invited for the event13.
All the people cannot be accommodated in the same type of room and hence, different kind
of arrangement needs to be done. The type of accommodation arrangements for the
spectators, workers and other invited guests are as follows: -
 Single room – Independent travellers, invited guests and media officials would require
a single room to relax. These people would be willing to pay a little extra for their
comfort.
 Double room – Families and friends would prefer to stay together in a double room.
This room would also be expensive
 Secured accommodation – It is very important to have secured accommodation for the
invited guests, players and also other VIPs, who would be travelling for the
Olympics14
 Also a dormitory would be required for workers and security personnel who would be
residing nearby the venue throughout the games.

The event planner should also ensure that they have excess rooms available with them so that
if any excess people come up then that can be taken care accordingly, without any last minute
hesitation15.
Economic analysis for Brisbane
Benefits of Olympics 2028 to Australia
With the organizing of Olympics 2028, Australia will have many benefits. Few of the
benefits that would help the country are as follows: -
 First and foremost, the infrastructure of the nation would be improved. The
government of Australia is already working towards the improvement of
infrastructure but 2028 Olympics the government would move fast to achieve the set
target.
 There would be a social development through sports. The people around would be
trained to the international travellers and also the areas in and around Brisbane would
be better to satisfy the travellers and investors16.
 This will also ensure that the financial development of the country is well taken care.
The travellers would explore the country and thus, tourism would be promoted. Also
the local businesses would benefit from the 2028 Olympics.
Security and safety
Looking at the past records, the travellers can be rest assured that Australia is a safe country,
unlike other countries. It is known for the less crime rate, safeguarding their citizens and also

BID DOCUMENT: OLYMPICS 2028 10
the borders of the nation. In the past, Australia has hosted many international events and
hence, this proves that they have a good track record. In 2018, commonwealth games are
scheduled and successful completion of that event would mean that the nation is good with
planning events, with complete safety in mind. Apart from the track record, few of the
preventive measures that would be undertaken during the 2028 Olympics are as follows: -
 The security personnel would be employed 24/7 so that the stakeholders can feel safe.
 Security cameras would be installed in all the streets of Brisbane and also it will be
continuously monitored. This would ensure that the travellers are safe in the city even
when they are outside the stadium.
 The venue would be checked thoroughly before the start of the event to identify any
possible threats17.
 Before the start of every event, the audiences would be explained about the
emergency exit that they need to use in case of any emergency. This will ensure that
problems like stampede are avoided in difficult situations.
 The Australian citizens would also be educated on how to behave with international
travellers and the benefits that the country would receive from the event so that the
international travellers are offered a helping hand at all required places.
Legal framework
Visas and immigration departments’ workload would increase and hence, for the same, a
separate team would be set. This team would be responsible for immigration and visa
processing of players and travellers. Two officials would be responsible for each country.
17 Ralf Muller, ‘Innovative approaches in project management research’, International journal of project
management, 12, no. 7 (2017), pp. 873-894

BID DOCUMENT: OLYMPICS 2028 11
One of the officials would be responsible for visa and immigration responsibilities of the
players, coach and managers, and the other one would be responsible for taking care of the
formalities of the travellers.
The Australian government will also discuss with the government of all possible nations so
that they can understand the thoughts that is running in their mind. This will ensure that the
government can increase the safety arrangements. Accordingly, all the nations would
motivate their citizens to enjoy the Olympics without any second thought.
Inflation rate is one thing that would bother the travellers, but the government would put in
efforts to keep the inflation rate under control so that the travellers aren’t affected. The
government of Australia would also ensure that the illegal activities in the nation are
controlled by 2028 so that the tourists are safe18.
Conclusion
Getting Olympics 2028 to Australia is the only aim as this will build the reputation of the
country. At the same time, this will add value to the nation in terms of infrastructure, social
and economic development of the nation. Australia has successfully hosted many events in
the past and hence, Olympics 2028 can be rest assured that the event is in the safe hands. The
final decision can be made after the completion of Commonwealth games 2018. Olympics
2028 is still far but Australia has all the capabilities to make the event a huge success.
