City of Gold Coast

“Strategic Expertise - We engaged with Better Cities as they had a strong track record in urban planning and recreational infrastructure, evident from their involvement in multiple regional and national projects, specifically the Moreton Bay Regional Skate & BMX Plan

Holistic Planning - Their approach aligned with the City of Gold Coast’s aspiration of creating inclusive, dynamic facilities that cater to all skill levels and abilities. This includes integrating stakeholder feedback and future-proofing infrastructure to leverage opportunities from the Brisbane 2032 Olympics.

Cross-sector collaboration - They demonstrated effective collaboration with other Councils, planners and external stakeholders, ensuring the Plan integrated with broader City objectives and Olympic legacy planning.

This Plan has enhanced the quality, inclusivity and strategic alignment for skate and BMX within the City, ensuring we continue to be a global leader in skate and BMX infrastructure. It also supports the delivery of facilities that are safe, accessible and future-ready, aligning with the Council Plan and Sport and Physical Activity Strategy.”
