Queensland's crossbenchers have united in a rare move, calling on the state government to cap its budget for the 2023 Brisbane Olympics amid soaring housing costs and infrastructure spending.

Greens MP Amy MacMahon, members from Katter's Australia Party, One Nation's Stephen Andrew and independent Sandy Bolton signed a statement calling for a raft of commitments from the government over the event.
