As the Chief Executive of Stadiums Queensland (SQ), Todd Harris PSM oversees a mix of nine (9) major stadia (5), entertainment (1), community and high-performance sporting (3) venues throughout Queensland with an asset value in excess of $4.6 Billion. The SQ venue portfolio includes Queensland Country Bank Stadium, Cbus Super Stadium, People First Stadium, Suncorp Stadium, The Gabba, , Brisbane Entertainment Centre, Queensland Tennis Centre, Queensland Sports and Athletics Centre and Sleeman Sports Complex. Todd has in excess of 23 years’ experience in the venue, major event management and sports infrastructure sector, has overseen or been directly involved in the delivery of over 1,500 major events of international, national and state significance, with oversight of a combined annual maintenance and capital program exceeding $75M. With the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games on the horizon, SQ is intrinsically involved in the design, planning and operational inputs of key Olympic projects including Victoria Park Stadium, the National Aquatic Centre and a number of other developments across his portfolio, with combined project values exceeding $6 Billion. Over the COVID period, Todd led the acquisition, negotiation and hosting of several headline events, including two history making grand finals - the AFL grand final in 2020 and NRL grand final in 2021, international rugby events, international test match cricket and the entire 2020 Super Netball season, which relocated to Queensland for 2020. SQ and its supporting partners led the world in ‘reopening’ venues and returning crowds back to enjoy sports and entertainment events. Todd was awarded the Public Service Medal as part of the then known Queen’s (now King’s) Birthday Honours List 2022, “for outstanding public service in Queensland's sporting and major events, particularly through the COVID-19 pandemic”.
