    Debbie McNamara will be joining an esteemed panel to shed light on the key priorities and activities of EDQ (Economic Development Queensland) with a focus on priority precincts like the Gabba and North Shore Hamilton, leading up to the much-anticipated 2032 Olympic Games.

    In Conjunction with the Queensland Government’s exciting announcement regarding the latest land release at Hamilton Northshore, major projects such as the Gabba redevelopment, Cross River Rail and the Olympic Games Village present significant opportunities for each precinct.

    The role of EDQ and its associated PDA's (Priority Development Areas) serve as a crucial framework to unleash the potential of amenities and development opportunities in these precincts. We are eagerly anticipating insights from Debbie McNamara and Michael Hurley, who will collectively illuminate the vital role of EDQ in delivering on the enduring Brisbane 2032 Legacy.
