“This could be an absolute game-changer for our city, our state and the nation,” Cr
Power said.
“Council has invested significant time, effort and money into a positive outcome for
our city. We have a long way to go but remain confident that Logan is on the Olympic
map.
“When you consider the $3.3 million Doug Larsen Park world-class BMX freestyle
facility at Beenleigh, our progressed plans for an Outdoor Adventure and Whitewater
Park facility in Greenbank, and a specialist indoor sports venue linking rail and
transport, we are well and truly in the box seat to play a key role in this once-in-a-
lifetime event.”
