City projects
The City of Gold Coast is working closely with Queensland Health and the Australian Federal Government to support our city in the response and recovery of COVID-19.
Investing in new and improved infrastructure is now more vital than ever to open up local jobs and kick start our city’s road to recovery. Find out how we are helping our economy and local businesses on our business support page.
