High Performance Sports Facility

National rugby league franchise, Gold Coast Titans, is the preferred proponent to deliver a high performance sports facility at Emerald Lakes Parklands, as the Gold Coast evolves to become an epicentre of high performance sports in the lead up to the 2032 Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games. 

The opportunity

The Lakeside Drive site is situated on one of the City’s premier sporting precincts, a short distance from People First Stadium, Carrara Indoor Sports Stadium and the Gold Coast Sports and Leisure Centre. This central location also enables a sporting body to expand its operations across a wide catchment area from Northern New South Wales to southern Brisbane.

We are in negotiations with the Titans as the preferred proponent to develop and operate the new high performance sports facility and field. 

It is envisaged the high performance sports facility will be a low-impact building and include outdoor recreation or sporting activity, food and beverage, change room and storage facilities.

The proponent has provided a concept that includes the development of local business and industry and skills sector workforce training and ongoing economic, social and community benefits. Key items include

• Supporting grass root talent pathways
• Advancing gender diversity and accessible sport
• Integration of sports technology and health focused initiatives
• Community co-location and access to high performance facilities
• Enhanced educational outcomes through sports technology.

Background

The Gold Coast is building its reputation as a high performance destination for sport teams and athletes to live, visit, train and compete.

The vision is to become the epicentre of sports in the South Pacific, but investment in infrastructure and partnering with professional sports bodies is required to provide the best facilities from stadiums, indoor arenas, training fields to high performance centres.

The high performance sports facility for the Gold Coast will create new jobs in our sports industry and be a catalyst for new partnerships and build enduring community value.

Partnerships

The City of Gold Coast, Invest Gold Coast, Queensland and Australian governments are committed to the growth of the sports industry with investment attraction programs and grants. These include Invest Gold Coast's Sports Attraction Program and the Australian Government’s National Integrity Capability Enhancement Program.
