Greenheart Master Plan survey 2024

Consultation has concluded


Greenheart - The Gold Coast's largest outdoor recreation space

Greenheart is a 257 hectare site located in the suburbs of Merrimac and Robina, situated at the centre of the city’s urban footprint. The development of Greenheart is the largest open space and recreational facility project ever undertaken by the City. This development is a direct response to the Gold Coast’s significant population growth and the need to continue to provide high quality parks and infrastructure for the community.

From 31 May to 1 July 2024, we sought feedback from the community on a Master Plan for Greenheart, and the eight proposed precincts that we propose will make up this unique space. As part of this engagement, we held a community information session, a series of pop-up kiosks, and hosted a survey so to collate community feedback on the Master Plan. We received over 3500 responses to this survey.

We heard that:

  • 95% of survey respondents agreed with providing a new regional parkland.
  • 88% of respondents agreed that developing the Greenheart site into a parkland is a good use of Council owned land located within a flood plain.

What's next?

The feedback from the survey will inform the concept design phase that will commence in 2025.
