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 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 Robina Parklands
The first stage of Greenheart - Greenheart Robina Parklands - opened in April 2025. The parklands have been popular with visitors enjoying the adventure playground, water play area, dog exercise area, pedal park and sports fields. Now, we are asking people about their experience at the parklands. Have your say on your experience at the parklands until 30 January 2026.
