The
Gold Coast Planning Scheme
The
Gold Coast Planning Scheme is a living document that will guide the
growth and development of 'Our Living City', the City of the Gold Coast.
Residents, industry and State Government have been consulted about the
Scheme before its adoption by Council on June 6, 2003. It became operational
on August 18, 2003.
