Broadbeach Master Plan Overall

Introduction
The broadbeach Core Business Precinct Master
Plan has been developed in consultation with the
area’s business leaders and stakeholders, and now
we are looking for your comments on it.
The Master Plan aims to unlock the precinct’s
potential and guide it’s transformation to become
the city’s most vibrant and diverse beachside
neighbourhood, event precinct and business centre.
It will play an important part in our preparation for
the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games.
