Logan businesses ready for Games gold

It might be 11 years away, but many small businesses are already thinking about the unprecedented benefits that come with hosting an Olympics.  

Snap Print and Design Underwood is one of them.

Owner-manager Karen Seage knows a thing or two about global sporting events. 

Several printing contracts with the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games gave Karen the means to hire two new staff and transfer two casual workers to full-time apprenticeships. 

Better yet, Snap has also opened an Indigenous design studio, supporting another worker and Indigenous artist-in-residence.

We know the 2032 Games will create 91,600 jobs and billions of dollars of new investment.

And thanks to the Palaszczuk Government’s Buy Queensland procurement approach, we’ll be backing local businesses like Karen’s to go for gold. 

We’ll be backing local tradies in the construction of Games venues, local engineers in the design of major infrastructure and local farmers in producing local food and beverages. 

And the Buy Queensland approach will ensure we keep every possible dollar circulating in our economy.

To help Queensland business to the starting line, you can now register on the Brisbane 2032 website to learn about procurement opportunities for the Games.

2032 will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for many Logan businesses large and small that could help set them up for years afterwards.

You only need to look at the 2018 Commonwealth Games and Karen’s story to see the economic legacy of these global events. 

The message is clear – we’ll be backing more than just our swimmers and sprinters for gold at the 2032 Games.

With our Buy Queensland procurement approach, Queensland businesses and jobs will be put on the podium too.
