In the lead up to the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, we aim to help our clients achieve the right balance of these four, integrated enablers to deliver thriving places and spaces that are inclusive for all.
Our teams of local and global technical specialists seek to balance the disparate and often competing needs of communities to solve problems and harness opportunities for our clients and showcase innovative thinking.
Equity and social inclusion
The Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games represents a powerful opportunity to spotlight and embed greater social inclusion programs that embrace all people across age, culture, gender and ability.
In particular, GHD recognises the opportunity to present to the world, an Australia where the cultures, histories and rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are better understood, recognised and respected.
We aim to be inclusive in how we approach the delivery of our clients projects and the community solutions we collaboratively design, in ways
that advance First Nations people, give a voice to young people and empower people with disability.
