Directions for growth survey: Consultation now open
By 2046, the Gold Coast will be home to over one million people — welcoming around 388,300 new residents, delivering 185,000 new homes, and creating 173,800 new jobs.
We need to plan for this growth now to maintain our city’s liveability, so young people can stay and work closer to home, and older residents can remain in the neighbourhoods they love.
Together with the community, we have developed 8 directions for growth that will help guide the development of our new Planning Scheme.
As you go through the survey, you'll learn more about each of the 8 directions. You can also learn more about the 8 directions for growth before you start the survey.
This is a key opportunity to help shape how our city grows — and one of several chances to get involved.
Complete the 10-minutes survey and go into the draw to win one of five $500 gift vouchers (terms and conditions apply).
Consultation is now open and will conclude on Monday 7 July 2025.
