The Project Validation Reports (PVR) explored whether a venue is fit-for-purpose, and incorporates best practice design, environmental sustainability standards and commitments under the Olympic and Paralympic Host Contract. The PVRs also consider the operating costs, operating model, employment benefits and social impacts.

To conduct Demand Assessment and Financial Operating Assessment for the following Games venues:

• Moreton Bay Indoor Sports Centre
• Sunshine Coast Stadium
• Chandler Indoor Sports, Gymnastics & Aquatic
• Barlow Park
• Toowoomba Sportsground
• Sunshine Coast Indoor Sports Centre
• Sunshine Coast Mountain Bike Facility.

Having secured funding, multiple venues are progressing to the detailed design, construction and delivery phases.

• Alignment of the PVR with the reference design and costing tasks impacted on the project program.
• As a large, specialised consultancy, Otium’s ability to be flexible and shift resources to meet tight timeframes was imperative to the success of the project.

The Games venues will provide a lasting legacy to their communities by providing new opportunities for people to participate in sport and be physically healthy and active.
