Overview
Originally built for the Brisbane 1982 Commonwealth Games, the Chandler Sports Precinct - more commonly known as the Sleeman Sports Complex, named after former Brisbane Lord Mayor Frank Sleeman - has been a hub for community and high-performance sport for more than 40 years, and upgrades will ensure it continues to be for decades to come.
Precincts works are planned within the site to improve accessibility and accommodate future Games overlay requirements. Precinct upgrades will make it easier for athletes, spectators, and the community to visit the site to compete, train, watch and enjoy.
Upgrades are also planned for the Brisbane Aquatic Centre, Anna Meares Velodrome, Brisbane SX International BMX Centre and Chandler Arena to accommodate a dedicated Para Sports Facility, supporting both community and high-performance athletes.

The new facility will continue the sporting history of the Chandler Sports Precinct - first constructed ahead of the Brisbane 1982 Commonwealth Games - launching a new chapter in supporting the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, which aims to be the most accessible Games ever.
With about 700,000 users each year, including from clubs, high-performance athletes and allied health, the precinct upgrades will deliver modern, inclusive access that will future-proof one of Queensland’s busiest sporting hubs.
The precinct upgrades will be shaped and informed by expert input to ensure access to facilities meets the needs of high-performance athletes, community users, and people of all abilities.
