In this special episode of the Brisbane Property Podcast, Scott and Melinda Jennison unpack the major infrastructure announcements for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games—and what they could mean for Brisbane’s property market in the years ahead.   Unlike past Olympic setups, Brisbane is taking a unique approach: most of the venues will be built within a 5km radius of the CBD. This centralised model will significantly reshape inner-city precincts like Victoria Park, Bowen Hills, Spring Hill, and Woolloongabba.   In this episode, you’ll learn: * Which suburbs are set to benefit from new or upgraded venues * How changes in infrastructure may impact supply, demand, and pricing * What investors need to consider before jumping into these “Olympic precinct” zones * The long-term impact of projects like the Cross River Rail, Brisbane Metro, and the proposed Sunshine Coast rail link * Why strategic timing and planning—not speculation—are critical when making property decisions around Olympic-related announcements Melinda shares expert insights into zoning, density constraints, flood risks, and future planning scheme shifts that could influence opportunities in key locations.   If you’re an investor or homeowner curious about how the Olympic legacy will shape Brisbane’s growth story, this episode is packed with practical guidance to help you make informed, future-focused decisions.   Connect with Us: * Subscribe on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCW30uBCnHQ2YllnwGKHNfxg [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCW30uBCnHQ2YllnwGKHNfxg] * Streamline Property Buyers Website https://streamlineproperty.com.au/ [https://streamlineproperty.com.au/] * Ready to work with us directly? https://streamlineproperty.com.au/contact/ [https://streamlineproperty.com.au/contact/]   If you liked this episode, please don’t forget to subscribe, tune in, and share this podcast with others you know will benefit from the information we share!
