Detailed Precinct Plan announced for Gold Coast’s Spit

The Queensland Government has announced a detailed precinct plan for the Gold Coast’s Spit aiming to realise the parklands full potential.

The Spit offers a range of recreational, cultural, and social opportunities with QLD Deputy Premier Steven Miles noting “as a parkland with regional significance adjacent to the Broadwater it is important that design solutions of this precinct are sensitive to the environment, inclusive and also visually appealing.”

The plan will be jointly funded by the Queensland Government as part of the implementation of The Spit Master Plan (the master plan) and the Gold Coast Waterways Authority (GCWA).

The plan focusses on ways to improve the experience with more vibrancy in the public space and improved connectivity between the areas of Marine Stadium, Doug Jennings Park, and Moondarewa Spit.

The community is invited to provide their feedback on the plan.

GCWA Chief Executive Chris Derksema adds “Over the past six months we have undergone stakeholder engagement through public surveys and face to face meetings with community groups and the events industry to ensure the plan reflects the community’s vision for The Spit.

“The plan will be available for public comment until mid-November 2023, and we encourage everyone to have a look at the plan and provide feedback.”
