Green Heart urban parkland - stage 2

The Green Heart vision aims to provide Gold Coast residents with one of the world's largest urban parkland systems. The Green Heart is located between Nerang in the north, Robina in the south, Mudgeeraba in the west and Clear Island Waters to the east.

Council recognises the enormous potential of this area to provide significant open space and recreational opportunities for the existing and growing Gold Coast population. The space will become a place for all people, celebrating our environment, recreation and the community.
