Investment & business attraction program

The Gold Coast is Australia’s largest regional city, offering unequalled lifestyle choices within an economy worth more than $49 billion, supporting over 650,000 people and more than 70,000 businesses.

The City of Gold Coast is committed to fostering continued growth and attracting new investment. In 2025, the City established Invest Gold Coast, a controlled entity dedicated exclusively to driving investment, attracting new businesses and supporting the expansion of high-impact local enterprises.

The Investment and Business Attraction Program aims to:

  • target growth industries and sectors that contribute the most to the local economy
  • focus on significant job creation and investment in priority industries
  • support the development and growth of local supply chain capabilities
  • attract businesses, skills and talent that support sustainable growth.
