Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games

Northshore Hamilton is just one of the four locations where Brisbane 2032 athletes will be based.

After the Games, Northshore will deliver a diverse residential offering, including aged care, retirement living, social and affordable housing, key worker, hotel, build-to-rent and market accommodation. Two other athlete villages on the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast will also be converted to provide new permanent dwellings for South East Queensland’s growing population within vibrant mixed-use precincts.

Project status: More information on the additional athlete villages will be available as planning continues.
