Bundaberg Mayor Jack Dempsey has put his support behind Queensland's bid to host the 2032 Olympic Games. Cr Dempsey said he'd previously met with former Lord Mayor Graham Quirk to put forward the Bundaberg Region's credentials as a training base and to host events. "It's fantastic that Queensland has taken a big step towards hosting the 2032 Olympic Games after news that our state has been identified as the preferred candidate," he said. "If the International Olympic Committee's executive board accepts the recommendation, Queensland's bid which was lodged in September 2019 by Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk, will see events held across the state. Â "I certainly believe we'd provide an ideal venue for rowing, triathlon and sailing.
