“All of those things are very actively being worked on right now,even discussions about establishing the recruitment processes.”

Schrinner was the most impressive delegate from the Brisbane bid team,speaking with eloquence and passion to the delegates. Later,he said the smile behind his mask was immense as he celebrated the milestone.

“I wish you could see the smile on my face. There is no greater moment for a city than to have the opportunity to host the world’s biggest sporting event,” he said.

“For a mid-sized city like Brisbane,with bold ambitions,today is the proudest moment you can imagine. This is a game-changer for the Olympic movement and our city and our state. We will not let you down.”

A video set the scene for the vote as Australian Olympic luminaries like Nova Peris spoke of what a Brisbane Games could deliver. It was all set to Mitch Tambo’s Indigenous language version of John Farnham’sYou’re The Voice,along with flyovers of the city’s skyline and famous neighbouring coastlines.

Coates,who had been integral in the new bidding process that helped secure hosting rights but abstained from the vote,said it was important for the Olympic movement to award the Games to mid-sized cities like Brisbane in an effort to “future proof” the concept.

He said Brisbane would be the “Together Games”,seizing on the new Olympic motto that has been released this week in Tokyo. The renewed version adds together to the famous “Faster,Higher,Stronger” mantra:Citius,Altius,Fortius – Communis.

“This is a very proud day for Australia,make no mistake. I thank the IOC members for their confidence. Brisbane 2032 is genuinely committed to serving the ideals of the Olympic movement,” Coates said.

“The Olympic Games in Brisbane will be in the most diligent,grateful and enthusiastic hands. And I make this commitment to the athletes of the world – we will provide you with an unforgettable experience.”

The Brisbane bid team told delegates more than 80 per cent of venues were either built or would be temporary sites for the Games,with venues set around a trio of Olympic villages in central Brisbane and the Gold and Sunshine coasts.

New rail and road corridors are already planned and in some cases under construction,while a revamp of dated cricket ground The Gabba and a new indoor arena in Brisbane’s centre are key planks of the pitch.
