Brisbane 2032

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

This will add to an already popular precinct, which is home to landmarks such as Portside, Eat Street Markets and Alcyone Hotel, and some of Brisbane’s best waterfront living.

Northshore’s prime waterfront location, its proximity to the CBD and competition and training venues, along with seamless transport connections, make it an ideal location – even after the Games are over.

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.
