Early works have started at The Mill in Petrie, marking a major step toward a new precinct linked to the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Earthworks and site preparation are now underway. The project is expected to offer long-term benefits for residents beyond the Games.
A Major Indoor Sports Centre Takes Shape
Moreton Bay Indoor Sports Centre (MBISC), the new indoor sports centre planned for the precinct. will have seating for about 10,000 spectators. The venue is expected to host Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic events, giving Moreton Bay a key role during the Games.
Council reports that the community will use the sports centre after the Games. This means local clubs, schools and residents will have access to high-quality indoor courts for training and competitions.
Lakes Precinct Upgrades Will Create Outdoor Spaces
The Lakes Precinct will also receive new picnic shelters, BBQs and open recreation areas. These improvements aim to encourage outdoor activity for families and visitors.
Plans also include a three-kilometre concrete walking track around the lake. This will offer a safe and scenic loop for walking, running or cycling.
Updated parking, including additional spaces, forms part of the Lakes Precinct. This will make the area easier to use as visitor numbers grow.
Local Jobs During Construction
Both the Olympic venue release and the Lakes Precinct update highlight opportunities for local contractors and workers, supporting jobs during construction.
With projects such as the indoor sports centre and lakeside upgrades, the precinct is becoming a growing place for learning, sport and outdoor recreation. This is supported by Council’s long-term plans for the area.
The City of Moreton Bay states that early works for the sports centre will run until mid-2026, whilst the construction on the Lakes Precinct began in October 2025 and will finish around mid-2026 as well.
