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)

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.

1 comment2Christian Kingabout 1 month agoYugambeh History
There is a valuable opportunity to have input from the Yugambeh people into this area and include a history walk, maybe some local stories. Would be great for schools excursions etc. The skate park is not needed, the gold coats always has plenty of amazing skate parks.

Helpful family options for unplanned days or incidents & visitor keepsakes
0 comment0Inspoabout 1 month agoFamily swimming area and shade
Swimming area that is family friendly to be able to cool off in summer and for those that can’t access the beach due to disabilities. Similar to what they have near Brisbane. Also plenty of shaded areas for picnics
0 comment4WilliamLarcombeabout 1 month agoIs there regular public transport access? Could bike/scooter paths be separate from pedestrian paths? Could solar panel roofing be used ?
0 comment3Andrew Forsythabout 1 month agoActivation, Entertainment and Community Facilities
Inclusion of commercial use lease areas for cafes, restaurants, taverns, gymnasium, swimming pool and weekend markets etc would assist in activation the space and increasing its attraction and use by a broader range of community members (and generate an income to offset maintenance costs). Community lease areas and buildings should also be provided and offered to local community, hobbyist or sporting groups. Carparking areas should include number plate recognition and charge higher fees for vehicles registered outside of the local government area so that visitors contribute to the upkeep and are respectful of the facilities when they attend.
1 comment0Grooverabout 1 month agoTracks for all different activities
As someone who lived in Sydney a lot of their life, Centennial Park is a hugely used facility enjoyed by all locals. The track around the park allows all different types of activities from bike riding, roller skating, jogging, horse riding, dog walking, etc. As such if you want to build a useful facility, I would look replicate this example for guidance.

gcrp13 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 comment0David Radloff26 days agoWildlife Habitats
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 comment1Peter 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 Genders23 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.

Beth Hall10 days agoThere is already considerable wildlife accessing Mudgeeraba Creek and it seems that there will be too much usage/pressure placed on it.

Access by boat

Please see Kedron Brook as example, a wonderful corridor that is all offlead. Frequently can witness all in harmony activities such as youth fishing, dog walking, recreational riding
1 comment0NevStrideabout 1 month agoFurther impact on flooding in Worongary Creek.
As this area is a floodplain for Worongary & Mudgeeraba Creeks it is a concern that this will increase the issues currently before council (ie petition) regarding more and more properties being flooded year on year particularly in Worongary Creek.
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 comment0Razor6 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.

1. Public transport stops close by and regular bus to Southport and Broadbeach areas 2. Recycling bins/ vegetable scraps bin/worm farms for people's picnic scraps 3.Lush thick tree forest area with full tree coverage and pathway through middle 4. Plenty of shady picnic areas with shade sails 5. Dog leash off area 6. Water play area for children 7. Bird boxes for native wildlife
0 comment0Jenny Stephens20 days agoFocus on long term conservation
For this development, designing precincts to enhance long term water and land use should be prioritised. As I was originally from NSW, it's terrible to see how Sydney Harbour is so degradaded that now, fish and pippies are toxic, you get septicaemia if you swim with an open would and the water is not even clear anymore. I hope keeping our waterways and land the most enviable in the world needs excellent foresight and cooperation between environmental stake holders now. Thank you for what you do.
