Redcliffe Prepares for 2027 Women’s Softball World Cup in Olympic Lead-Up

Redcliffe will stage the 2027 Women’s Softball World Cup Finals, with the international tournament set to boost Queensland’s sporting profile in the lead-up to the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games.



Background and Context

Australia will host the Women’s Softball World Cup for the first time since 1965, when the inaugural event was played in Melbourne and won by the national team. More than six decades later, the 2027 Finals are confirmed for Talobilla Park in Redcliffe.

The announcement strengthens the sport’s case for inclusion in the Brisbane 2032 Olympics. Queensland has committed to covering costs if softball is added, as hosts are responsible for funding sports outside the International Olympic Committee’s 28 core disciplines.

Event Details

The Women’s Softball World Cup Finals will be held from April 5 to April 11, 2027. Eight of the world’s top national teams will compete, with organisers scheduling six days of competition across that seven-day window.

The tournament is regarded as the benchmark global softball event before the sport’s return to the Olympic program at the Los Angeles 2028 Games. While some describes it as part of the Olympic qualifying pathway, others frame it as the lead-up event ahead of LA 2028.

Temporary seating will be brought in for the 2027 tournament, alongside upgrades at Talobilla Park such as a new clubhouse. While no new venue is required, more extensive infrastructure may be needed if the sport is confirmed for Brisbane 2032.

Economic and Tourism Impact

The event is forecast to generate about $6.3 million in economic activity and more than 10,500 visitor nights. A global broadcast audience of roughly 60 million is anticipated, particularly from softball-strong nations such as Japan, South Korea and the United States.

The expected influx of visitors and media coverage is seen as a boost for local businesses and an incentive for further hotel investment in the Moreton Bay region before 2032.

Community and Sporting Growth

Hosting the World Cup provides the national women’s team, the Aussie Spirit, a chance to compete at home for the first time in over half a century. Former champions from 1965, including Margaret Swan, noted the significance for athletes chasing Olympic selection.

Softball Australia emphasised the opportunity to inspire the next generation of players, lift grassroots participation and highlight Redcliffe’s role in Australia’s sporting future.

Outlook



Redcliffe’s hosting of the 2027 Women’s Softball World Cup Finals positions the city as a key stop on the pathway to the Brisbane 2032 Olympics, combining international competition, economic benefits and community impact.

Coastal Protection Project Planned at Woody Point

A new seawall is planned for Crockatt Park in Woody Point to replace the ageing structure and strengthen coastal protection against erosion and storm impacts.



Background and Project Development

The existing seawall at Crockatt Park stretches from Woody Point Jetty to the nearby boat ramp but has deteriorated over time. A reference concept design was first completed in 2020, followed by detailed design works planned for completion in mid-2024. Construction is scheduled to begin in late 2025 and continue into 2026, providing an updated structure designed to meet modern engineering standards.

New Seawall Design

The project involves replacing the current wall with a stepped concrete seawall designed for a 100-year lifespan. The new structure considers projected sea level rise and features steps that improve access to the foreshore while maintaining structural integrity during severe weather conditions.

Additional Measures

Further works are also proposed north of the Crockatt Park Boat Ramp. Sand nourishment will extend and widen the beach for recreation, while large buried sandbags will provide reinforcement during severe erosion events, protecting footpaths, car parks, and adjacent open spaces.

Testing and Validation

The proposed seawall design has undergone physical model testing at the Queensland Government Hydraulics Laboratory in Deagon. Engineers used controlled wave simulations to measure performance during extreme storm conditions, improving confidence that the structure will remain functional under future climate challenges.

Funding and Broader Context

The Crockatt Park project is part of a wider $15 million investment in Moreton Bay coastal defence initiatives. Funding support has been shared through the Disaster Ready Fund and Moreton Bay City Council.

Next Steps



Construction at Woody Point is expected to start in late 2025, with completion forecast in 2026. Once finished, the seawall will provide long-term coastal protection and improve public access to the shoreline.
