The event will bring thousands of athletes, artists and spectators from across Australia and around the world to Perth for 10-days of sport, culture and celebration.
Lord Mayor Bruce Reynolds said the City of Perth is proud to welcome this landmark event, which further strengthens the city’s reputation as a hub of inclusion and diversity.
“For more than 27 years, the City has supported Pride WA, and we’re thrilled to see their bid to host the Gay Games 2030 come to fruition,” Mr Reynolds said.
“Earlier this year, we welcomed representatives from the Federation of Gay Games to Council House during their visit to Perth and we look forward to continuing that support as the city prepares to host the Games in 2030.
“Through our LGBTQIA+ Advisory Group, the City has also developed the LGBTQIA+ Plan 2025–2029, which aims to make Perth an even more welcoming and supportive place to live, visit, and work.
“The successful bid to host the Gay Games 2030 was identified as a key milestone in this plan, and we’re delighted to see it become a reality.”
