Photo Courtesy The Australian<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cLet\u2019s put money into that whole participation-inspiration-activity business with the vision of a new Brisbane Aquatics Centre. The multiplier is huge in so many ways.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cSwimming is Australia\u2019s number one participation sport (and Australia\u2019s most successful Olympic sport).<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFrom Noosa to Coolangatta there are more Olympic, Paralympic and World championship medallists produced than any other region in the world.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAll the while, Queensland has to evolve its economy and build tourism to get into events.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt would seem crazy to miss the opportunity to turn Brisbane and South East Queensland into a \u2018fair-dinkum\u2019 events economy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThere\u2019s nothing in the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic bid document that delivers a place.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cShould it not be a beautiful piece of architecture for a 10,000-seat swimming venue? At one end, you put in the extra 5000 seats on a temporary basis for the Olympics and Paralympics.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe can then be known around the world as the place to come for anyone and everyone who wants to improve, innovate, and develop in aquatic sports.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThis will then provide the impetus to develop the best in aquatic innovation, coach training, sports science, biomechanics, nutrition, and equipment development.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIn staging the Olympics and Paralympics, the biggest legacies should be sporting and physical. That should be the No.1 legacy, building the capacity of all the Olympic and Paralympic sports in this country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And putting his developers hat on Stockwell has even come up with an option for the site of a proposed Aquatic Centre at a Queensland State government-owned land (site) that exists at Brisbane\u2019s Victoria Park\/Barrambin, on the Spring Hill side of the city railway line adjacent to the Centenary Pool.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A site Stockwell notes that people can walk to the popular downtown Valley precinct, and into the City, with an existing railway line already there.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAquatics is our No.1 Olympic and Paralympic sport in Australia. We are going to win more medals in the pool than anywhere else in 2032,\u201d writes Stockwell.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cSwimmers won nine of Australia\u2019s 17 gold medals at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Swimming and diving shared 21 of Australia\u2019s 46 total medals. We have a storied heritage in aquatics. And it\u2019s Queensland.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_573420\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-573420\" data-attachment-id=\"573420\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/brisbane-2032-warrants-a-new-aquatics-centre-writes-olympian-and-developer-mark-stockwell\/mean-machine-news-ltd\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Mean-Machine-News-Ltd.jpeg\" data-orig-size=\"1280,720\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Mean Machine News Ltd\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy News Ltd&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Mean-Machine-News-Ltd-700x500.jpeg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Mean-Machine-News-Ltd-1024x576.jpeg\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-573420\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Mean-Machine-News-Ltd-700x500.jpeg\" alt=\"Australia's 4x100m freestyle relay team 1984 LA Olympics\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-573420\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">LA DREAMING: Australia&#8217;s &#8220;Mean Machine&#8221; (L-R) Mike Delany, Greg Fasala, Mark Stockwell and Neil Brooks.

Photo Courtesy News Ltd<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOur \u201cOlympic Aquatics Centre\u201d should mean a home for swimming, diving, artistic swimming and water polo.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAll the head offices of those sports can potentially discuss a modern new home in Brisbane. You create the daily events tourism. Kids from all parts of the state and country can say this is where the Olympics and Paralympics were held in 2032. Here\u2019s the museum, here is the Swimming Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cA venue of this quality allows you to bid for World Championships, the Pan Pac titles, the Duel In The Pool, Water Polo and Diving World Cups and so on. Young athletes and aspiring Olympians and Paralympians get to see these top-class aquatic events. If you can\u2019t see it, you can\u2019t be it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIf we are serious about the Queensland economy, this should be discussed. Expo 88 happened and South Bank arrived. It took a long time to get it right, but today Brisbane has a world-class cultural, entertainment, leisure, residential, commercial, and multi-use tourist destination that we are all proud of.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stockwell has emerged over the past 40 years as a man passionate about his sport, his city, the Olympic Games, and a legacy he knows swimming deserves in Queensland.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Time for Australia\u2019s vibrant swimming and Olympic community to get behind Mark Stockwell and to deliver Brisbane a world class Aquatics Centre.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brisbane 2032 Warrants A New Aquatics Centre Writes Olympian And Developer Mark Stockwell Highly respected and decorated Australian Olympic
