The city of Brisbane isn't. Brisbane City Council (BCC) is. Once a year the Carbon Neutral Council (CNC) releases a report estimating BCC's total emissions from landfill, transport and electricity from council operations and council contractors (last year it was 596,882 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent for example). To retain their "carbon neutral" status over the next year BCC then needs to offset the emissions from the pervious year and reduce their emissions by the time of the next review by the CNC (last year it was reduced 7% from 644,039 carbon dioxide equivalent). Most of that is done via renewable energy purchasing agreements where BCC invest in a Queensland-based solar power company in return for said company increasing their installed capacity, choosing contractors which have a low carbon footprint, planting a lot of trees - which is a big reason why 38% of the city is covered in trees - and general emissions reduction schemes like electrifying the city's bus fleet, capturing emissions from landfill, etc. It's a whole exercise and something the BCC has to actively work to maintain.
@@uzziya6392 You've mixed up the Greater Brisbane region and the City of Brisbane. The City of Brisbane and the Brisbane City Council are the same area...

Pour la première fois jeux olympiques a déjà organisé Melbourne 1956 et Sydney 2000 pour la troisième fois Brisbane australie donc faut attendre pendant 11 ans c est beaucoup long 🙂
isn't Tokyo have existing venue as well?? i mean, they have hosting Olympic in 1964 and most of venue is still used till nowadays.. even the stadium that they used for Opening Ceremony is the same stadium in 1964.. they only do renovation for that so that's why it's look like a brand new stadium.. and they have temporary stadium too if i not mistaken.. and some of competition is held outside Tokyo like Sendai, Yokohama & Saitama which is all the venue is existing as well.. Tokyo 2020 become expensive because of Coronavirus.. so they spend more for that instead..
Getting around brisbane as of now already a task. I dont know how anyone can move around from sunshine coast to brisbane and off to gold coast work.....the infra in greater brisbane is suck....and not enough accommodation is a concern too.
Roads will be restricted to Olympic vehicle's only, everybody else will have their lives interrupted. If it's a world event, lets have multiple countries host seperate events where some of the smaller nations can be a sport host with out the overall cost. Each country could bid for a particular event, swimming, athletics or gymnastics etc this would make the Olympics more inclusive.
I hope this Olympics will not be a repeat of the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games a few years ago. Although the sporting events were fairly okay, the ceremonies were disasters. It felt like they missed a lot of opportunities to show the athletes. Instead, they focused on degenerated Australian singing contests winners.
About time !!! Congratulations Brisbane. This will be a giant step forward for the City and if Brisbane is smart and spread it out with a dedicated bus shuttle system it will be a very successful Olympics for Australia and the word. Nicely done.
Incorrect, there were multiple countries that bid. Brisbane's proposal suited the IOC's new candidate requirements the best (by a large margin) and was pretty much awarded the right to host immediately (subject to some formalities). Brisbane faced the unique situation where it effectively did not have any direct competitors for the 2032 Olympic bid.
That's the problem with uneducated people who don't follow the Olympic news. India, Germany, Indonesia and other countries placed a bid. But the IOC preferred Brisbane's bid.
@@jahjoeka Nah. They gave upp because it wasn't cost effective. Lost to Tokyo. Lucky, otherwise nyc would have gone bankrupt if they had hosted Olympics in these times.
Congratulations to Brisbane! At the same time I'm sad that Rhine-Ruhr-City didn't make it, it would've been even more sustainable, with even more existing venues that could have be used. It just didn't have enough support
Yeah generally you’d only know if you live in the council area because you get a newsletter once every month and he’s on the tv a lot and you have to vote them in, but if you live in Moreton Bay, Ipswich, Redlands or Logan you wouldn’t really know so it’s all good 👍
I wish they had not committed for this one-off vanity project, and instead had spent the money on overhauling the hospital system. A good first step would be by firing all the superfluous bureaucratic administrators who accomplish little or nothing, and training more staff whose job is actually health care, not inventing bogus regulations.
LITTLE KNOWN FACT about BRISBANE , According to Wikipedia we have a land area of 15,826 km2, this is larger than any city in Australia, but I'm starting to think it might be larger than any city in the world... / I Think in Different Aspects its No.1 & in Other aspects its No 2 or 3RD to Say City in South Africa , But I'm Pretty Sure Taxi Wize & as Far as the Taxi Network Goes it is the Largest City in the World, London Cabby's Should Come Here to Train as a Cabby lol.
Sydney didn't- with big TV rights (already sold), sponsorships and a big cheque from the IOC (a new thing) the Games wont cost much amortised over 11 years. Sydney cost less than 1 percent of the STATE budget amortised over 7 years. Olympics are expensive, but not usually Australian (or American) ones.
Well, Russia got the FIFA World Cup in 2018 and Qatar got the 2022 one... under radically different circumstances, it must be noted. It's worth knowing that hosting the Olympics is very expensive and is generally only worth it if the host country can either make use of the stadiums after the event or already has them, which effectively rules out most developing countries from hosting them (and a lot of them know it).
