The campaign film

The film introduces the family, the cotton country and the ambition behind the bid: clothing that is made to last, grown from local soil, and connected to the communities Brisbane 2032 has promised to include.

Journalists can use the video as a concise primer before exploring the campaign background and petition.

A Games for all of Queensland

Brisbane 2032 has been described as a Games for all of Queensland. Goondiwindi Cotton believes this is a practical opportunity to prove it by putting regional Queensland people, skills and supply chains on the world stage.

The family business is proud of the local jobs it creates, its contribution to the regional economy, and the quality of its clothing. Its EOI is about more than one business: it is a chance for Goondiwindi and the broader community to share in the recognition of a world-class event.

Preliminary economic forecasting predicts that a winning bid for Goondiwindi Cotton would mean an economic output boost of more than $40 million over five years to the community.

The bid shows that legacy is about more than infrastructure. It is about people, local soil, clothing that is made to last, and making the Games truly Queensland's Games. Every thread counts.

Economic forecasts were undertaken by REMPLAN based on information provided by Goondiwindi Cotton.
