Queenslanders could score an extra public holiday to celebrate the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, as part of a new campaign.

The Greens are set to push for an annual public holiday for Queenslanders ahead of the Olympics to mark the event.

The proposal for "Games Day" would be a day off for many workers on the second-last Friday in July, starting in 2027 and continuing beyond 2032.

The Greens says it will provide some relief for residents who have seen house and rent prices increase since preparations began.

The plan has received pushback from opposing parties, with Liberal MP Senator Paul Scarr giving it "the gold medal for silly ideas".

"We need every single working day to build the infrastructure, the stadiums, the facilities for the Olympics," he told Today.

"So I just think this is a dumb idea."
