A South Australian committee will consider whether the state should bid to host the Commonwealth Games in Adelaide in 2030.
Premier Jay Weatherill on Friday told a fundraising dinner for Commonwealth, Olympic and Paralympic teams the government would establish a Commonwealth Games Feasibility Committee.
It's understood Adelaide would bid for the 2030 Commonwealth Games.
"As one of the most liveable and safest cities in the world, which already has some of the infrastructure foundations in place like the new Adelaide Oval, Adelaide would be a strong applicant to host the Games," Mr Weatherill said in a statement on Saturday.
"But first we need to ask the right questions and make sure we are satisfied with the answers."
