The Gold Coast Turf Club and Aquis Farm have revealed an ambitious plan to host the Equestrian events for the 2032 Olympics. The proposal aims to bring substantial economic benefits to the Gold Coast and the Scenic Rim regions while showcasing the stunning tourism assets of the area, including the iconic Surfers Paradise skyline and the picturesque Gold Coast hinterland.
Under the masterplan, the Gold Coast Turf Club’s infield would host the show jumping and dressage competitions, while the renowned Elysian Fields Equestrian Centre at Canungra’s Aquis Park would accommodate the eventing competitions and serve as the training and quarantine facility for the athletes.

This proposal, set to be presented to the 2032 Olympic Games Infrastructure and Coordination Authority and the Queensland State Government, follows significant infrastructure investments in the Gold Coast Turf Club, totaling $80 million. The recent launch of night racing at the club, featuring drone shows and live performances, highlighted the upgraded facilities to the equestrian community.

CEO Steve Lines emphasized that both venues were equipped to deliver world-class equestrian events, with the Gold Coast Turf Club providing a backdrop of Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach skylines for show jumping and dressage, and the Aquis Farm showcasing the beauty of the Gold Coast Hinterland during the eventing competitions.

Elysian Fields, located just a short drive from the Gold Coast and Brisbane, was deemed an ideal hub for training and quarantine activities, offering proximity to urban amenities while maintaining a serene environment for competitors and their teams.

Lines expressed confidence in the proposal, stating that it would offer unparalleled benefits for athletes and spectators alike, all while being cost-effective for taxpayers. The plan has garnered significant support from stakeholders and is anticipated to receive further endorsements in the near future.
By hosting the 2032 Olympic Equestrian Events, the Gold Coast aims to not only boost its international profile but also to leverage its world-class venues and natural beauty to create a memorable experience for participants and spectators. The combination of top-tier facilities and breathtaking surroundings sets the stage for an unforgettable showcase of equestrian excellence in the heart of Queensland.
