The Oxenford Investigation Area project is a long-term strategic planning initiative to deliver new housing supply together with the necessary infrastructure upgrades.

The Gold Coast is one the fastest growing cities in Australia. To ensure we can meet the needs of our current and future residents, we are undertaking long-term strategic planning across the city.

Following an initial study to identify the city’s priority investigation areas, we engaged with residents in Oxenford to understand the support for future growth within the Oxenford Investigation Area.

After community consultation, Council endorsed the Oxenford Investigation Area Preferred Concept Plan (Riversdale A Precinct) in April 2023.

Further detailed technical studies are currently underway to better understand the necessary infrastructure such as parks, stormwater management and transport required for the area.
