The delivery of the new Logan Indoor Sports Centre is underway, with demolition works commencing at the former Logan PCYC site.

The works clear the way for a 7,000-seat, nine-court multi-purpose indoor arena that will be centrepiece venue for the 2032 Olympic Games and become one of Queensland’s largest indoor sports facilities.

Once complete, the venue will host a range of indoor sports during the 2032 Games, including ball sports, boxing, martial arts and Para sports, with final event allocations to be confirmed later this year.

Beyond the Games, the Logan Indoor Sports Centre is set to deliver a lasting community legacy, providing local schools, clubs and community groups with access to world-class facilities.

The project aims to support grassroots participation and help foster the next generation of athletes in one of South East Queensland’s fastest-growing regions.

The venue forms part of the $7.1 billion Games Venues Infrastructure Program, jointly funded by the Australian and Queensland Governments. The program will deliver 17 new and upgraded venues across the state under the oversight of the Games Independent Infrastructure and Coordination Authority.

With demolition underway, planning and approval processes are continuing, including environmental considerations under the EPBC Act. The appointment of the principal design contractor is expected to be announced soon, signalling the next phase in the project’s progression.

Federal Treasurer and local Member for Rankin Jim Chalmers described the development as the largest investment in sport infrastructure in Logan’s history, highlighting the long-term benefits for thousands of young people who will train and compete at the venue.

Federal Infrastructure Minister Catherine King said the centre would serve as a vital community hub during the Games and well into the future.

Queensland Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie said the start of works demonstrated tangible progress in preparations for 2032, while City of Logan Mayor Jon Raven described the project as the beginning of a new era for the site and a major boost for the city’s growing population.

GIICA chief executive Simon Crooks said the demolition milestone reflects ongoing momentum across the state’s Games venue program, with the Logan Indoor Sports Centre playing a key role in the broader delivery of 17 projects statewide.

When complete, the Logan Indoor Sports Centre will stand as a flagship indoor venue in Queensland’s Olympic and Paralympic infrastructure network, combining Games functionality with long-term community access and participation outcomes.
