Following the announcement of the 2032 Olympics infrastructure plan, the Presidents of BHA and BWHA would like to share the following message:
Dear Clubs, Members, and Life Members,
Following the recent announcement of the 2032 Olympics infrastructure plan, we would like to address the decision regarding the location of hockey for the 2032 Brisbane Olympics.
As you are all aware, the Gold Coast will host hockey during the Games. While this was not the outcome we had hoped for, we recognise that this decision was made to optimise available resources and ensure that the necessary infrastructure upgrades are completed to the required standards for the event.
This is undoubtedly a more favourable result compared to the initial proposal for a 'temporary' facility at Ballymore in Herston.
We want to assure you that we remain committed to the growth of hockey in Brisbane. As we move forward, BHA and BWHA will continue to advocate for the development of new turf pitches and significant upgrades to existing hockey facilities. Our goal is to ensure that Brisbane has a legacy of world-class infrastructure that benefits the entire hockey community – both in the lead-up to and beyond the 2032 Olympics.
Thank you for your ongoing support and dedication to the sport of hockey. Together, we will work towards a brighter future for hockey in Brisbane.
Kind regards,
Dushen Salecich and Sue Reid
President, BHA & BWHA
