Brisbane celebrated with fireworks and lit up Victoria Bridge in green and gold.

It has been five years since Brisbane won the bid to host the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, and experts say there is no time to waste.

The Queensland government has a plan for the Games, but it may not be enough.

The government has a timeline for the delivery of the Brisbane 2032 Olympics.

The timeline shows the progress from the bid to the present day, but it lacks detail about the future.

The remaining time before the opening ceremony is short, and there are many challenges ahead.

Seven new sports venues will be built, and 10 more will be upgraded, all within a $7.1 billion budget.

The construction labor force is small, and material costs are rising, making the task more difficult.

The government promises to deliver everything on time and under budget, but experts are skeptical.

There was a lot of excitement when Brisbane won the bid in 2021.

People gathered in large numbers to celebrate the announcement, and fireworks lit up the sky.

The then-premier, Annastacia Palaszczuk, promised that there would be no unnecessary spending.

The government said that most of the venues already existed and only a few new ones would be built.

The government had 11 years to prepare, which seemed like enough time.

However, five years have passed, and little progress has been made on the construction of new venues.

The Australian Constructors Association chief executive, Peter Colacino, said that the time is just enough if they start working now.

The Moreton Bay Indoor Sports Centre is one of the planned venues for the Olympics.

The past five years have been exciting, but there have been many twists and turns.

The Gabba stadium was initially chosen as the main venue, but the plan was later changed.

The stadium was going to be rebuilt at a cost of $1 billion, but the price tag later increased to $2.7 billion.

The community opposed the plan, and the government had to reconsider.

The students and families of East Brisbane State School rallied against the plan to demolish the school.

A new stadium will be built at Victoria Park instead, with a capacity of 63,000 seats.

The government has broken some of its promises, and the construction of new venues has not started yet.

The government has a new plan, but it is still unclear if it will work.

The construction of the new stadium at Victoria Park has started, but it is the only one so far.

The government says that it is on track to deliver the Games within the budget.

However, experts warn that the construction labor force is small, and material costs are rising.

The government needs to work closely with the construction sector to deliver the Games on time.

The minister for state development and infrastructure, Jarrod Bleijie, said that the government is focused on staying within the budget.

The government has reined in spending on some projects to stay within the budget.

The Olympics minister, Tim Mander, said that the government will adjust its plans as needed to stay within the budget.

The government's goal is to make sure that the taxpayers are not left with a large bill.
