Jarrod Bleijie: Good morning everyone. Great to be in Logan this morning with a really exciting announcement. This is a milestone for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games today. As part of this milestone, the old PCYC will be coming down, but it will be replaced with the Logan Indoor Sports Centre, 7000 Seat 9 Court Arena, which is just going to be an amazing community facility for the people of Logan and surrounds.

Jim Chalmers: This is a really exciting day for Logan City and for Southeast is Queensland. This site has been a really important part of our local communities history and now it will be a really important part of the future as well. This is the biggest single investment in sporting infrastructure in Logan City ever and it's something that the federal government is very, very proud to partner with the state government on and work closely with Logan City Council on as well.
Background: Map showing site highlighted. Located on Democracy Way, the centre is a short walk from Woodridge Station, to be upgraded as part of the Logan to Gold Coast Fast Rail.
Mayor John Power: This is something where people say to me, what is Logan getting out of the Olympics? I can point directly to the Logan Indoor Sports Centre and while the Olympics might be why the funding has been brought forward, it is something that our community desperately needs right now. So as soon as we can build these, there will be young people flocking to this facility that will use it for decades to come and this will be a legacy that we can talk about from the 2032 Games. This is an amazing announcement and I cannot wait to see the construction start. We get to welcome young people into this precinct, so it becomes a hub for community and for all kinds of sports and civic activity.
