City Connect
Support for community groups
Our City Connect program supports neighbourhood connections and offers assistance to not-for-profit community groups operating on the Gold Coast.
Local community groups and volunteers contribute to the liveability and wellbeing of our city. We also partner with representatives from community groups, local businesses and other levels of government to support the sustainability of our community groups.
