ABOUT THE GOLD COASTMore than a city famous for its sun, surf and sand, the Gold Coast covers an area of 1400 square kilometres and stretches along 57 kilometres of Australia’s eastern coastline. It is one of the fastest growing regions in Australia, with a population of 535,000. Beyond our beautiful beaches you will discover a lush rainforest hinterland with breath taking scenery, all a short drive from our city centre.

Beyond our beautiful beaches you will discover a lush rainforest hinterland with breathtaking scenery, all a short drive from the Gold Coast Performance Centre.

In early 2018, the Gold Coast was the host city for a sporting highlight for the nation, the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games (GC2018). Approximately $320 million worth of new sporting infrastructure was constructed for the Games and the legacy from GC2018 will ensure our city is a highly desirable sporting destination for athletes in years to come.
