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 8 proposed precincts that will make up this unique space. We received over 3500 responses to our survey and 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 happening now?
We are now moving into the concept design phase for Greenheart. As part of this, we will be working closely with stakeholders to help us create a Greenheart that’s accessible, vibrant and enjoyable for everyone.
Greenheart Community Reference Group (CRG)
Expressions of Interest for the Greenheart Community Reference Group (CRG) have now closed. The CRG will play an important role in supporting the development of Greenheart’s concept design, providing a place for community representatives to share local knowledge, lived experience and feedback at key stages of the project.
Thank you to everyone who applied. We received strong interest from across the community and are currently reviewing applications.
Further updates will be provided as the CRG is established.
