Greenheart Master Plan survey 2024
Consultation has concluded
Help us shape the Gold Coast's largest outdoor recreation space - Greenheart
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.
The City of Gold Coast has prepared the Greenheart Master Plan which proposes eight unique precincts featuring a wide variety of open space and recreation facilities. We are seeking your feedback on what you think about the Greenheart Master Plan and each of the precincts.
How you can have your say:
- Complete our online survey and go into the draw to win one of five $500 gift vouchers (terms and conditions apply)
- Share your ideas on the Master Plan precincts, you can also vote for ideas submitted by others
Our team will be available at various locations during this engagement period, you can attend any of the Community Consultation Pop up Sessions if you wish to connect with the team directly.
Community engagement runs from Friday 31 May to Monday 1 July 2024.

Providing a good mix of: things to do, places to rest up and get some food, learn something and enjoy the environment. Not just tourist visitors, but locals as well.
1 comment2Avana1811 days agoMore space for wildlife + nature
The biggest threat to GC wildlife is development. Basing the plan around animals and not humans should be the priority. Boardwalks and viewpoints is a good idea to get locals connected with the nature, however, there is no desperate need for more sporting facilities and parks. This area should stay green. Perhaps a native community garden would get kids involved.
0 comment2gz120 days agoKeep some areas as they already are.
Leave some of the areas as they are. Flood plains and wetlands are a natural part of our landscape and should not be disturbed. This plan fails to protect anything that already exists and replaces it with artificial settings.

Frenchieabout 1 month agoHas this been assessed by conservationists?
We've already lost over 50% of our original wetlands. Our remaining wetlands are crucial. They help manage floods by absorbing excess rainwater and protecting us from storm surges. They filter pollutants, improving water quality, and support our biodiversity. Furthermore, the Gold Coast is really spread out, wouldn't it make more sense to have several smaller parks instead of one big park that everyone has to drive to? Smaller parks would be more accessible to local communities, reduce traffic, and lower emissions. We're not in New York, unless there's efficient public transport serving everyone it's not sustainable to build a single park everyone has to drive to. As our elected representatives, it’s your responsibility to ensure a sustainable future. Destroying wetlands is not the answer. If this project goes ahead as is, there must be extensive education on what's left of our natural environment, with informative signage and more to help people understand why wetlands are the most critical natural areas for humanity.
0 comment1Christy Mirandaabout 1 month agoPlenty waterside picnic/bbq facilities, elevated viewing platforms- sunrise/sunset photo opportunities- local photographers/general public
Consideration & pre planning to cater to thousands of people wanting to bbq & enjoy
0 comment2Christian Kingabout 1 month agoNix event quarter
Not convinced this is needed. Outdoor festivals are on the decline and there are already venues available for this.
0 comment3jocomynsabout 1 month agoFlood mitigation
The existing wetland is both a refuge for wildlife and a massive sponge to slow down and clean floodwaters from the hinterland. The great increase in hard surfaces such as parking, playing fields and parkland will massively detract from this function, allowing much greater run off, but more importantly allowing it to flood into downstream suburbs much faster than before. Flood mitigation is not just about damage to the newly constructed infrastructure, but even more so about preventing damage to the rest of the city.

Please increase the size of the wildlife habitat / natural areas in the project. The more wetlands, natural creek areas and tree woodland forests there are, the better off for both the wildlife and people!
0 comment1gcrp16 days agoNeed more information on the heritage impact
This is the biggest heritage site on the Gold Coast, and the information provided barely mentions anything about it. What’s the impact on both the European Heritage and the Aboriginal heritage of the site? It is very concerning that it’s not being properly considered.
0 comment24Allahabout 1 month agoA Dedicated Prayer Room
Robina has the 2nd largest Muslim population on the GC (after Labrador), so it would be great for the council to include a prayer room with ablution facilities for the residents to use at the park.
1 comment0Peter Dawsonabout 1 month agoThere is a good mix facilities - they are all needed in a growing community. Prioritise habitat - the natural spaces should be increased.
Retaining and restoring habitat (Woody Hill, Wetlands, Wild Life Corridor) should be a priority. It takes the longest to establish and is at most risk of being omitted in the competition for funds during delivery. These areas should be increased.
1 comment3Sean Genders26 days agoGenuine wildlife corridors
While the councils plan to have 51% of green space has to be applauded, the problem that exists is that none of it links together. The plan has to be altered to create unbroken wildlife corridors, free of roads and human interaction, in order to ensure that wildlife is free to move around, from the hills to the sea, free from attacks by roaming, unleashed dogs, being killed by vehicles and all of the many other issues raised by human interaction.

0 comment0Lynmck9 days agoa space for clubhouse / storage shed for kayaks etc so a club can provide learn to kayak for all ages groups.
If the master plan on the creek can include infrastructure for kayak storage and club - the club can provide learn to kayak programs , group training sessions for all ages - juniors through to masters - varsity lake sports house storage facilities great model - clubs / individuals pay for storage of kayaks and train their daily . Clubs have stored kayaks that community members can learn to kayak , clubs provide coaches for group training and fitness sessions.
0 comment0MikeSabout 1 month agoCan we travel to Greenheart by river? It connects up to Clear Island Waters via a large waterway. Will need tie-up spots to step ashore.
Access by boat
0 comment0svangilsabout 1 month agoFamily friendly (flat) pathways to the western suburbs.
Truly connect green heart to the hinterland by providing shared paths to the western side of the m1 via overpasses or underpasses, in particular to Mudgeeraba Showground and up Worongary creek (green corridor) to help keep the creek clear of debris as well as provide a flat walkway for families and horses away from the main road. Recent flood events could be avoided in future.

0 comment0Razor9 days agoThe floodplain was mostly wet & treeless prior to European settlement full of Brolgas, raptors & swans a very foreign concept to the GC
Restore the site back to treeless wetlands rather than novel treescapes which exclude the birds of the wet open plains so characteristic of the Great Swamp of old.

Despite having dozens of km of beaches, GC does not have adequate facilities for beach sports, it would be a unique opportunity to build sand courts for Beach Volleyball, Beach Tennis and Futvolley. These sports are amazing for health and well-being.
