The Gold Coast’s Largest Green Space Is Coming–Have Your Say And Win $500

By Maisie Gray

The Gold Coast is getting a new recreational mecca and your input is needed to make it a standout hub for all things enjoyment.  To ensure that they have the current Coasties covered, the City of Gold Coast is giving away a bunch of $500 gift cards. All that you have to do is share your thoughts on the proposed plans to go in the running to win. 

Nestled between the city’s beaches and hinterland, Greenheart will be the largest open space destination in the region. Marking the biggest recreational facility project ever undertaken by The City, this stretch of green is no joke. Think 4 AFL fields and upwards of 200 hectares big, now that is a whole lot of room for activity. 

With sun, surf, and seriously stand-out coffee, we locals can agree that life on the Coast is pretty damn good. Set to elevate all things sport, culture, tourism, and events, Greenheart is here to not only give us an additional leg up in the lifestyle Olympics but also ensure that our longstanding title of being the nation’s ‘Largest Playground’ is not going anywhere. 

No day on the Gold Coast is complete without soaking up some Vitamin D and getting the body moving. With endless opportunities for leisurely activity no matter your age, interests or abilities, this Merrimac space provides you and the young ones with a one-stop shop to keep your health and wellness in check. All that you have to do is hop five minutes down the road and take some much-deserved time to switch off and enjoy the wonders of some old-fashioned fresh air. 

As the Gold Coast recruits more and more awesome people, The City wants to make sure that they provide the perfect high-quality space for everyone of all abilities to spread their wings and enjoy. With A-level infrastructure and improved environmental outcomes for the community high on the project's hit list, from what we have seen so far, Greenheart has nailed the brief. 

With an array of proposed ideas for the space, the master plan is to make the bustling coastal paradise we call home the place to be for all things community connection, well-being and, of course, play. The best part? You get to be involved.
