South-east Queensland's bid for the 2028 Olympic Games seems to be gathering some momentum, despite Tuesday's setback that saw the Gold Coast refuse to fund its pro rata share of a feasibility study.

Redland City Council unanimously voted on Wednesday to give the go-ahead for ratepayers' funds to go towards the study, which was expected to take between 12 and 18 months.

Somerset Regional Council also confirmed its willingness to contribute to the study.

It came a day after the Gold Coast City Council voted against financially contributing to the study.
