The Annual Plan theme for 2024–25 is 'Continuing to protect our lifestyle' which supports the implementation of the City Vision, 'Inspired by lifestyle. Driven by opportunity', and Gold Coast 2032.
The Gold Coast has rightly earned a reputation as a fantastic place to live, work, invest and retire.
With record population growth underpinned by a dynamic economy, the city continues to attract new residents and new investment opportunities from across the globe.
At the heart of our city’s pulse is the incredible lifestyle we all enjoy: idyllic weather, world-heritage listed natural attractions and superb community facilities.
Tom Tate BE (UNSW)
Mayor
We are a city that is immensely proud of our lifestyle, liveability and opportunity.
The City Administration’s ongoing commitment to protecting and enhancing the Gold Coast way of life is reflected in the key initiatives in the Annual Plan 2024-25.
Our investment in the areas of flood mitigation, conservation and environment, and land acquisition will ensure our city and its natural assets are protected for generations to come.
