THE PARK
The London 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games are the first
of their kind - a Games being built on a long-term vision of
vibrant, mixed-used and integrated communities that benefit not
just London but the UK as a whole. From its inception the Olympic
Park has been designed with the future in mind including key
infrastructure and long-term business planning to deliver an
invigorated East End of parklands, homes, shops, businesses,
sporting and cultural activities, education and health care
facilities.
The delivery of this vision will be led by the Olympic Park
Legacy Company in four initial phases:
2010-2011: planning and
promotion
The Company is currently focused on developing its strategy and
beginning to promote the Olympic Park as a destination for events,
leisure and investment. We are strengthening relationships with the
host boroughs and communities that live around the site as well as
potential institutional, educational and employment anchors.
2011-2012: partnerships and
procurement
The Company's second full year of operation will see the
appointment of key partners and service providers as well as
securing updated planning permission to enable seamless transition
and handover after the 2012 Games and transformation of the Olympic
Park.
2012-2013: reinstatement and
handover
The Company will work closely with the Olympic Delivery Authority
who will lead the transformation of the Park, which includes the
dismantling of temporary venues and facilities in use during the
2012 Games. The Company will take control as parts of the Park
begin to reopen from summer 2013.
2013-2018: activation and
regeneration
During the first five years of development, the Company
will open venues and the Olympic Park to the public with an
exciting programme of sporting, cultural and commercial events,
which will establish the Park as an essential destination for
Londoners, visitors and investors.
After the Games, there will be five permanent Olympic and
Paralympic venues and the Media Centre, which new communities will
be built around, ensuring that the infrastructure from the Games
continues to be used for generations to come. The venues are:
Moving Forward
The Olympic Park Legacy Company is now building on the strong
planning work already delivered by the London Development Agency,
Olympic Delivery Authority and their partners.
The Olympic Park Legacy Company is currently developing its
first Corporate Plan which is due for publication in the spring of
2010.
