Event marking nine years until Olympics and Paralympics stopped after 350 drones fell into Yarra River on Friday
The Brisbane 2032 organising committee said ATN has advised that it would not put on further shows until the cause of the equipment malfunction is identified.
The committee president, Andrew Liveris, said while it was disappointing to cancel the Brisbane show, safety must remain the priority. “We’ve made sure that there are still plenty of ways for people right across south-east Queensland to enjoy the ‘Nine Years to Go’ milestone and celebrate the Olympic rings and Paralympic agitos making their Queensland debut,” he said.
“Communities right across Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast will have plenty of opportunities to see large-scale structures of the rings and agitos and get their photo with them, as well as participate in a range of Olympic and Paralympic sports. “A host of Olympians and Paralympians will be joining in the celebrations and all of the details, times and locations can be found on local Brisbane, Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast council websites.”
