🚨 OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨

The team were so excited for Game One tomorrow… we may have accidentally overprepared the Main Arena yesterday. 👀💥

Bit of maroon paint…
A few banners…
Maybe got slightly carried away. 😅

Safe to say the grounds crew are Queenslanders. ❤️🤍

Do you reckon we went too far… or not far enough? 😂

🌈 Sometimes the Brisbane weather likes to remind us who’s really in charge…

One minute it’s sunshine, the next minute it’s sideways rain… and then suddenly a rainbow lands right over the Mount Gravatt Showgrounds.

We checked… sadly no actual pot of gold was found.
But honestly, after 110+ years of community memories, maybe this place already is one. 😉

From local sporting groups, community halls, cultural festivals and markets, to major events and family experiences — this little patch of green in the middle of Brisbane keeps giving back year after year.

Even the rainbow knows where the good community assets are. 🌈

🥰 💚 days like today are exactly the reason why.

A precinct with more than 110 years of history continuing to evolve into a true multi-purpose community destination for Brisbane’s southside.

Today alone the grounds came alive with:

- A major multicultural community event delivered by Kairali Brisbane Inc
- Brisbane Afrikaanse Kerk hosting a long-standing private gathering in the Upper Community Hall
- UCMAS delivering maths tutoring and educational development classes
- Queensland Quilters Inc. and Decorative Arts groups continuing their regular monthly community activities

All operating side by side within one community precinct.

This is the role community assets should play.
Not sitting dormant… but active, inclusive and constantly contributing to local life every single week of the year.

The Mount Gravatt Showgrounds Trust now supports more than 30+ regular not-for-profit and community organisations onsite, alongside sporting groups, cultural associations, education providers, family events and growing entertainment opportunities.

Looking ahead, the opportunity becomes even greater.

A future-focused precinct capable of supporting wider sporting activation, national experiences, cultural tourism, entertainment and stronger grassroots community outcomes — while still protecting the history and heart of the site.

Respect the past.
Build for the future.

Brick by brick.

Mount Gravatt Showgrounds Chief Operations Officer Jason van Hunnik met with Nic and Cheryl from the Mount Gravatt Girl Guides Chapter, recognising the ongoing contribution volunteers and families make to one of the precinct’s longest-standing community organisations.

Operating from the Showgrounds precinct for more than five decades, the Mount Gravatt Girl Guides continue to play an important role in supporting and developing future women leaders through community engagement, resilience building and youth development programs.

During the visit, Nic and Cheryl showcased a range of recent and upcoming internal refurbishment works within the Girl Guides facilities, with the Mount Gravatt Showgrounds Trust assisting through site approvals and ongoing precinct support.

Mr van Hunnik said organisations like the Girl Guides represented the heart of what the Showgrounds precinct stood for.

“These organisations are powered by volunteers, families and community spirit. The Girl Guides have built a remarkable legacy here over many decades, and the Trust is proud to continue supporting that future,” he said.

“With more than 30 regular community and not-for-profit organisations operating across the precinct, it’s important we continue investing into infrastructure and partnerships that strengthen opportunities for future generations.”

The Trust says the upcoming improvements will help modernise the facilities while ensuring the site continues serving local families and the wider community for many years to come.

Families interested in youth leadership, confidence building and community involvement are encouraged to connect with the Mount Gravatt Girl Guides Chapter to learn more about local programs and opportunities.

Today I had the pleasure of catching up with Judy Hodgkinson, President of Queensland Quilters Inc. — one of the many wonderful not-for-profit community organisations that regularly call Mount Gravatt Showgrounds home.

The Trust has proudly supported Queensland Quilters for close to two decades. Established in 1984, the organisation continues to support 45 affiliated quilting groups across Queensland through creativity, friendship, education and community connection.

As Chief Operations Officer, one of the most rewarding parts of this role is seeing how organisations like this continue to bring people together across generations. Community spaces are not just about buildings and events — they are about connection, belonging and creating opportunities for people to engage with one another.

We spent time discussing what the future may look like as the Trust continues planning for the long-term vision of the Showgrounds precinct. I can confidently say Queensland Quilters remain an important part of the fabric of Mount Gravatt Showgrounds moving forward.

A little personal trivia from today — Judy’s husband John was actually my High School Principal at Runcorn State High School over 28 years ago, and we still keep in contact to this day.

I still remember him presenting me with my Prefect Leader badge in my final year. Looking back now, I honestly think he probably saw leadership potential in me long before I saw it in myself ❤️

Moments like today are a reminder that community connections can last a lifetime.

Mount Gravatt Showgrounds is proud to support more than 30 regular community and not-for-profit organisations each year, helping ensure this precinct continues serving the community for generations to come.

Connecting communities. Inspiring celebrations.

💡🌿 INTERESTING FACT: THIS SITE HAS BEEN SERVING THE COMMUNITY FOR OVER A CENTURY

Long before today’s festivals, food trucks and sporting events…

Mount Gravatt Showgrounds was already bringing people together.

For over 100 years, this site has continued to evolve — adapting to the needs of each new generation while holding onto its community roots.

Here’s something many people don’t realise:

🏛️ Several buildings onsite have been relocated from across South East Queensland, giving them a second life here at the Showgrounds
🔄 The grounds have constantly reinvented themselves — from agricultural use to modern multi-event activation
🌏 Today, the site welcomes diverse communities, cultures and events all year round
🌳 And through it all, it remains one of the largest open green community spaces in Brisbane’s southside

It’s not just a venue — it’s a living, evolving piece of community history.

From past to present… and into the future.

Next time you’re here, take a closer look —
there’s more to this place than meets the eye.

🎡🌟 110 YEARS OF COMMUNITY, TRADITION & CELEBRATION 🌟🎡

For over a century, the Mt Gravatt Show Society has been at the heart of this community — bringing people together, year after year.

From humble beginnings to one of Queensland’s largest local shows, this incredible volunteer-driven organisation has built something truly special. ❤️

Each year, it all comes to life on the last weekend of July, where more than 15,000 people walk through the gates to celebrate everything that makes our community great:

🐑 Agriculture & animals
🏍️ High-energy entertainment
🎠 Family fun & rides
🧵 Arts, crafts & local talent
🎆 And those unforgettable show nights under lights

But it’s more than just a weekend…
It’s 110 years of memories, of generations coming together, of traditions passed down, and of a community that continues to grow stronger.

To the Show Society — your passion, dedication and volunteer spirit does not go unnoticed. You are a cornerstone of Mount Gravatt.

Here’s to the past 110 years… and the many more to come.

As we move closer to Brisbane 2032, there’s a lot of focus on stadiums, infrastructure, and global attention.

And rightly so.

But there’s another layer to the story that matters just as much…

👉 What happens at the grassroots level.

Because long after the Games are over, the real legacy will be measured in participation, community engagement, and the strength of local sport.

Places like Mount Gravatt Showgrounds have a role to play in that future.

For over 110 years, it’s been a place where community sport and activity come to life — from junior rugby league and football to cricket, events, and local gatherings.

Not elite.
Not high performance.
But foundational.

• Where kids have their first game
• Where volunteers give their time every weekend
• Where clubs build culture and connection

That’s where the Olympic legacy is truly sustained.

If Brisbane 2032 is going to leave a lasting impact, it won’t just be because of world-class venues…

It will be because we continue to invest in, support, and activate spaces like this — the ones that underpin community sport every single week.

Because every elite athlete starts somewhere.

And more often than not, it’s on a local field, at a grassroots venue, surrounded by community.

That’s the opportunity in front of us.
