The deadline on the Call for Ideas process for the 2026 Commonwealth Games has been extended to Friday 12 August, giving Victorians the chance to have their say on the event.
With the Melbourne Gun Club in Yering having told Star Mail they are making a push to host potential shooting events, events may make their way to the Yarra Ranges for the regional Victoria-based Games.
Minister for Commonwealth Games Delivery Jacinta Allan said the Victorian Government is working closely with a number of different community groups to ensure the 2026 Victoria Games showcase the very best regional Victoria has to offer.
“The Commonwealth Games will deliver major benefits to the regions, and it is fantastic to see local clubs and venues including Latrobe City Stadium becoming home to some of the world’s best athletes.,” she said.
The Call for Ideas process is capturing ideas from local residents and businesses, Traditional Owner groups, creative and cultural organisations, and local councils.
