“The show jumping and dressage events under the new incredible Gold Coast Turf Club lights would provide worldwide exposure of the magnificent Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach skyline as a backdrop while the beautiful Gold Coast Hinterland would be showcased through the eventing at Aquis Farm.”The plan will be presented to the 2032 Olympic Games Infrastructure and Coordination Authority and the Queensland State Government early in the new year.
“We believe there are no other venues in Queensland that can economically and effectively provide world class venues which will also showcase the incredible tourism assets of the Gold Coast and its Hinterland,” said Lines.
- The Gold Coast Turf Club infield to host the show jumping and dressage events of the 2032 Olympic Games.
- Aquis Park’s world renowned Elysian Fields Equestrian Centre at Canungra to host the eventing and act as the training and quarantine facility.
“Put simply, no other proposal will be better for the athletes and spectators in addition to being the cheapest for taxpayers … and the cheapest by the length of the Gold Coast racecourse straight.”
The Gold Coast Turf Club and major sponsor Aquis Farm have unveiled an exciting plan to host the 2032 Olympics Equestrian Events on the Gold Coast and in the Scenic Rim.
Beyond that, competitors and their staff would be located in close proximity to the wider assets that major cities such as Brisbane and the Gold Coast provide.
Elysian Fields is a first-class equestrian centre, with outstanding horse facilties and a proven world class open-air entertainment venue.
The Gold Coast Turf Club has recently been the subject of a million infrastructure development funded by the Queensland Government which was showcased in style to the Equestrian community last Friday night for the historic launch of night racing, which included drone shows, laser shows and live performances.
The proposal has already received substantial stakeholder support and organisers expect further endorsements in the coming weeks.
“Imagine world class equestrian events in superior locations and with the capacity for both those locations to provide supporting world class entertainment events for the greater spectator event enjoyment,” said Lines.
Elysian Fields is only about 45 minutes drive from central Gold Coast and 1 hour Brisbane so it is also well positioned to be the hub of training and quarantine facilities.
Gold Coast Turf Club CEO Steve Lines said the infrastructure of both venues made them the perfect choice to host the equestrian events given they had already proved to be world class.
The plan would deliver considerable economic benefits to the Gold Coast and Scenic Rim as well as showcasing to the world the tourism assets that are the magnificent Surfers Paradise skyline and beautiful Gold Coast hinterland.
