Brisbane is a sporting city on the rise - boosted by the successful Olympics 2032 bid, Brisbane will undergo a period infrastructure and population expansion boom in the coming years.

Of particular interest to our industry, is the increased demand this will place on sporting facilities as places for recreation and community engagement. In this presentation, Patrick Beazley will explore some recent SPORTENG projects that were delivered in collaboration with Brisbane City Council which have turned under-utilized spaces into thriving, bespoke open spaces.

If you are facing challenges in providing sport and recreation areas where there seems to be limited spaces available, this webinar may help you reconsider existing opportunities and support provision of new infrastructure, to suit your organisation/client's outcomes.

Patrick will share his insights about transforming spaces for sport and recreation areas, drawing from his local and Australasian experience across Australia and New Zealand, on a range of project types. As a civil engineer, Patrick’s expertise is focused on flood modelling, stormwater and land management.

Following Patrick's presentation, our facilitator Nick Matthews will invite questions from our participants for a 20-minute Q&A session with Patrick about the opportunities, challenges, and potential solutions for transforming spaces for sport and recreation areas.
