Brisbane 2032 Project Supply: Vanities and Kitchens for the Buildings Behind the Games

Queensland is building 17 new and upgraded venues, an athlete village for more than 10,000 athletes and officials, and the housing those villages become afterwards. Every one of those buildings needs wet areas. FAME has manufactured bathroom vanities and kitchen cabinets since 2009 and has supplied Australian buyers for 17 years — from a 20,000 m² factory, at 20 pieces per model, with finishes held to a single approved batch across a whole order.

What we actually supply into a Games-linked building

Bathroom vanities & shaving cabinets

Wall-hung contract vanities at 900, 1200 and 1500mm from one carcass platform, 18mm HMR plywood, 20mm sintered stone or compact laminate tops, matched mirror cabinets. Built to be repeated across hundreds of apartments without the finish drifting between containers.

Compact kitchen runs

2.4m galley kitchens on a 600mm module grid for one- and two-bedroom units: four base units, three wall units, one tall unit with an oven cavity, flat-packed in apartment-numbered packs or delivered assembled.

Project documentation

ISO9001, CE, SGS and IP44 certification, board E0/E1 declarations, hardware certificates, a data sheet per model and a packing plan per building block — the file your certifier and site team ask for.

The program

What Brisbane 2032 is actually building

The Games infrastructure program is delivered by the Games Independent Infrastructure and Coordination Authority (GIICA) across seven phases: planning and approvals, design, early works, construction, commissioning, handover and post-Games legacy. A venue can sit in more than one phase at once. The table below records only what GIICA and the 2032 Delivery Plan publish — with the fit-out relevance alongside.

Program elementWhat is publishedWhere cabinetry enters
Venues statewide 17 new and upgraded venues — 7 new, 10 upgraded — plus over 50 new fields of play (GIICA) Back-of-house wet areas, change rooms, accessible amenities, staff and hospitality kitchens
Brisbane Stadium New 63,000-seat stadium at Victoria Park, Herston; in planning, design and early works phases (2032 Delivery Plan) Amenities, corporate hospitality kitchens, media and officials' facilities
National Aquatic Centre New facility at the Centenary Pool site, Spring Hill; 25,000 capacity during the Games, 8,000 permanent seats afterwards Change rooms, recovery and medical wet areas, staff amenities
Brisbane Athlete Village Brisbane Showgrounds, Bowen Hills, 1.5km from the CBD; more than 10,000 athletes and officials for the Olympics and more than 5,000 for the Paralympics; converts to permanent dwellings after the Games The single biggest cabinetry package: one vanity and one kitchen per dwelling, repeated hundreds of times, plus Games-time temporary fit-out
Satellite villages Sunshine Coast village at Maroochydore City Centre; Gold Coast village within the Royal Pines development The same apartment fit-out pattern at smaller scale, with the same batch-consistency risk
Logan & Moreton Bay indoor sports centres Delivery contractor expressions of interest listed on GIICA's tender register as at early November 2026 — Logan closing 5 November 2026, Moreton Bay closing 27 November 2026 (GIICA procurement) Once a delivery contractor is appointed, wet-area and amenities packages go to market underneath

Program details are quoted from GIICA and the 2032 Delivery Plan as published in November 2026. Venue scope and timing can change; use the source pages for the current position.

Where the work is

Four places a vanity or kitchen package enters the program

Contract vanity and shaving cabinet set installed in a compact apartment bathroom

1. Village-to-housing conversion

The Brisbane village is designed to become permanent dwellings after the Games. That makes the residential specification the real one: a vanity and a kitchen per dwelling, built to a ten-year rental duty cycle rather than a four-week event, in quantities that repeat block by block.

2. One- and two-bedroom apartment kitchens

A 2.4m galley on a 600mm grid, flat-packed in unit-numbered packs so a goods lift does not need a sorting table. Same front, same gap, same bench height in apartment 204 and apartment 811.

3. Games-time temporary fit-out

Villages and temporary accommodation need joinery that assembles fast, survives a short intense tenancy and can be removed or re-purposed. Flat-pack construction with labelled parts and a supplied assembly sequence is the format that suits a compressed programme.

Queensland conditions

What South East Queensland weather does to a specification

Sealed bathrooms hold moisture

An apartment bathroom with mechanical ventilation and a semi-frameless shower runs wetter for longer than a house bathroom with an opening window. That is the argument for 18mm HMR plywood with sealed edges and for a lacquer film rather than an edge-banded film front at the bottom rail.

High UV and long hot seasons

Where a unit faces north or west, a two-coat polyurethane system holds colour better than a thin melamine film. For coastal sites we quote a sealed edge on every panel and stainless or coated hardware rather than plain steel.

Containers and compounds

Queensland projects are usually delivered to a site compound with limited covered storage. Flat-pack on pallets, wrapped and labelled by apartment, survives that better than assembled carcasses stacked four high.

Audit and certification

Australian project files expect documentation behind every claim. We issue a data sheet per model with dimensions, materials, hardware and packing, plus board and hardware declarations, so a certifier is reading paper rather than a brochure.

Working together

From a unit schedule to containers on the water

1. Send the unit schedule or BOQ
How many of each width, per building or per level, plus one typical bathroom and kitchen drawing. If the drawings are not final, the unit mix alone is enough to price from the platform.
2. Approve the sample and the batch reference
A physical door and panel are approved once — colour, gloss reading, groove position. That sample becomes the reference for every container in the order.
3. Fix the documentation pack
We confirm exactly which certificates, board declarations and data sheets your certifier needs before the PO, so nothing is discovered at handover.
4. Run a pilot batch
20 pieces per model is our minimum and it is also the sensible first order: it tests the finish, the packing and the site's installation method before the volume order is placed.
5. Stage the containers to the program
A loading plan per building block, delivered against your installation sequence, so a compound is not holding four hundred vanities while the floors are still being taped and set.

Track record

17 years of Australian supply, not a new market entry

FAME has manufactured since 2009. Australia has been one of our three core export markets throughout, alongside Europe and North America, and over 80% of output is exported. The work has been retail and trade programmes through importers, brands and builders — the same disciplines a fit-out contractor needs: container maths, finish consistency across repeat orders, and documentation that holds up.

Project FAQ

Questions project buyers ask before a first order

What does a cabinet supplier actually contribute to a Brisbane 2032 project?
Cabinet work, not structures. The Games program being delivered by GIICA is venues — stadiums, aquatic centres, indoor sports halls. Our part sits one layer down the supply chain: the bathroom vanities, shaving cabinets and kitchen runs inside the athlete villages and the residential buildings those villages become after 2032, plus back-of-house wet areas and staff amenities inside the venues. We supply the joinery package to the developer, head contractor or fit-out contractor who holds the building contract — we are not a Games sponsor or a nominated Games supplier.
Can FAME supply several hundred identical vanity units for an athlete village?
Yes. The constraint in a village is not volume, it is consistency: the four-hundredth unit has to match the first one after two more containers and a factory that has run other orders in between. We approve one colour panel and one gloss reading for the order, retain a door from that approved batch, and pack in apartment-numbered packs so the site does not have to sort units. Our MOQ is 20 pieces per model, and the same model can be re-ordered across a staged delivery programme.
What board and finish do you recommend for Queensland humidity?
18mm HMR plywood carcasses with sealed edges rather than MDF, wherever the bathroom is sealed and mechanically ventilated — which is the normal condition in an apartment. A sealed bathroom with a semi-frameless shower holds moisture longer than a house bathroom with an opening window, and MDF fails at the bottom rail and the back-panel edge rather than in the middle of a door. On the front, two-coat polyurethane at 4–6 gloss units holds up better than a high-gloss film in a room that cycles between shower humidity and air-conditioning.
How long does production and delivery to Brisbane take?
Production is 25–45 days depending on quantity and finish, plus ocean freight. Samples take 7–15 days after design confirmation. For a staged village or apartment programme we build a loading plan per building block so containers arrive against your installation sequence instead of piling up in a compound.
Can you supply flat-packed so the joiner assembles on site?
Yes, and for multi-storey work it is usually the better choice — flat packs move in a goods lift, stack without crushing corner posts, and a damaged front can be replaced without scrapping a carcass. We supply the assembly sequence and fixing schedule with the first delivery. Assembled and corner-protected units are also available where the contractor wants finished boxes on the floor.
Do you supply tapware, wastes and sanitaryware?
No. Tapware, wastes and any plumbing product that requires WaterMark certification in Australia stays with your plumbing supplier, who holds that certification. We supply the cabinet, the benchtop and the basin where specified, and we can supply tops undrilled or drilled to your own basin template so your plumber's set-out governs hole positions.
What compliance documentation can you provide for a certifier?
Our production is certified to ISO9001, CE, SGS and IP44 (on lit units), and FSA for timber sourcing. For a project file we issue board E0/E1 declarations, hardware certificates, and a product data sheet per model with dimensions, materials, hardware schedule and packing data. If your certifier needs a specific document format, tell us at tender stage and we will confirm what we can issue before you commit.
Have you supplied Australia before, and for how long?
FAME has been manufacturing since 2009 — 17 years — and Australia has been one of our three core export markets for that period, alongside Europe and North America. Over 80% of output is exported. Our Australian work has been retail and trade programmes through importers and brands rather than direct Games contracts, which is the experience a fit-out contractor is actually buying: container maths, finish consistency across repeats, and documentation that survives an audit.
We are at tender stage — what do you need from us to price a package?
Four things: a unit schedule or BOQ (how many of each width, per building or per level), the door style and finish reference, the benchtop material and edge detail, and the delivery sequence. With those we return a per-unit price, a lead time against your programme, and a packing plan. If the drawings are not final, send the unit mix and one typical bathroom elevation and we will price from the platform.
Are you registered on QTenders or the Games supplier portal?
Those registers serve organisations contracting directly with government or the Organising Committee. Our route to a Games-linked building is through the developer, head contractor or joinery contractor who holds the building contract, so that is where we focus. As at early November 2026 GIICA's tender register listed expressions of interest for the Logan Indoor Sports Centre (closing 5 November 2026) and the Moreton Bay Indoor Sports Centre (closing 27 November 2026) — both delivery-contractor packages, which is exactly the level at which a joinery supplier enters the chain.

Have a unit schedule for a Queensland project?

Send the unit mix, one typical elevation and your delivery sequence. We reply within 24 hours with a per-unit price, a lead time against your programme and a packing plan.
