Your city, your ideas.

A new draft Corporate Plan (2022-2027) for the City of Gold Coast (the City) is now available for community engagement.?

Residents, businesses, industry and ratepayers are invited to provide feedback by 15 May on their priorities for the city over the next five years.

The Corporate Plan is the City’s premier strategic plan setting the direction we will take towards achieving the vision ‘Inspired by Lifestyle, Driven by Opportunity’.?

“Decisions made by Council shape the future of the city in so many ways. This plan is about protecting our lifestyle and ensuring value-for-money in every decision we make at Council,” said Mayor Tate.

"I urge you to have your say. It’s your money and your city. Make sure your voice is heard."

The City wants to ensure the Gold Coast continues to be a great place to live, work and visit and our new Corporate Plan meets the needs and aspirations of our residents.

The Corporate Plan is supported through six key themes:

• Diverse Thriving Economy: our city has a high-performance economy, powered by talent and innovation
• Vibrant Lifestyle: our city is welcoming, safe and simply the best place to live and visit
