WELCOME TO THE GOLD COAST

Defined by its spectacular beaches, hinterland ranges, forests, waterways and vibrant communities, the Gold Coast is an outstanding global city which is proudly looking towards the future. Famous for its sun, surf and sand, Gold Coast City stretches along 57 kilometres of coastline. Beyond our beautiful beaches, is vast rainforest hinterland with breathtaking scenery - all a short drive from our regional centres.

The Gold Coast is the sixth largest city in Australia and one of the fastest growing regions in our country. Covering an area of 1400 square kilometres, the city\'s boundaries extend from just south of Beenleigh to Coolangatta, taking in South Stradbroke Island and part of Moreton Bay and extending west to the hinterland of Mount Tamborine and the Lamington and Darlington Ranges.
