Accessible Queensland 2032
Bridging the Gap to 2032 is the flagship strategic initiative led by Guide Dogs Queensland. It unites a series of targeted advocacy, community engagement, and awareness-raising activations designed to accelerate accessibility and inclusion in the lead-up to the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
As Queensland prepares to welcome the world, we have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to shape our state to be both accessible and inclusive. This campaign positions accessibility not as a compliance requirement, but as a shared community standard that benefits everyone: clearer information, safer streets, intuitive design, and stronger community connection.
The campaign will commence with a Kangaroo Point Bridge Walk on the eve of International Guide Dog Day.
Launch Event
Kangaroo Point Bridge Walk (IGDD Eve) Photo opportunity.
Clients, dogs and supporters will walk the Kangaroo Point Bridge in a powerful show of visibility a landmark GDQ helped co-design in 2020.
This walk reinforces the principle that an accessible world begins with inclusive infrastructure.
The Story Bridge will be illuminated in as the Guide Dogs; participants walk across the bridge symbolising the journey toward connection and inclusion.
