NO GREAT WALL FOR THE GOLD COAST Is it any wonder that there is a surge of interest from people who want to lead their lives on the Gold Coast?
W
e offer some of the best lifestyles anywhere on the planet - and we have earned a reputation as a safe haven from the pandemic.
Even so, our green credentials go much further than this with renewable energy programs, recycling of waste and groundbreaking protection measures for koalas and other native animals.
Of course, a noisy minority have started calls for us to block entry to newcomers. Let me tell you: that’s not happening. Almost all of us are newcomers here in some way or another and, so long as we remain a free country, those who want to join us will be welcome.
It all adds up to one of Australia’s most biodiverse cities. My view is that anyone who wants to love it should be made welcome.
Yes, it presents a big challenge to nurture our green and open space now and into the future but that is my commitment, absolute and unequivocal. The only viable solution is to build up, not out.
Tom Tate Mayor Gold Coast
Since 2012, we have planted more than 50,000 trees in our streets and parks and a stunning 658,000 in our natural areas. We are privileged to enjoy 2300 parks, 3000 kilometres of cycleways and are well progressed on the 220 hectare Robina Heartland project that will create a remarkable asset some six times as large as the Broadwater Parklands.

ROBINA’S ROADS BONANZA COUNCIL WILL INVEST MILLIONS IN MAJOR ROAD UPGRADES AND ACTIVE TRANSPORT PROJECTS THIS FINANCIAL YEAR TO HELP ENSURE ROBINA REMAINS AN ACCESSIBLE, CONVENIENT PLACE TO CALL HOME.
T
he recent upgrade of Christine Avenue and Robina Town Centre Drive is already paying dividends with locals saying the new dedicated turns have boosted safety for all.
Nearby, work will soon commence on the signalisation of the intersection at Laver Drive and Robina Town Centre Drive (The Rocket), which carries over 28,000 vehicles per day.
12
That project includes new signalised pedestrian crossings to support the hundreds who make their way between work, the hospitals and school every day. And funding has been secured to design a new signalised crossing at Scottsdale Drive and Robina Town Centre Drive to manage traffic and improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists. Tackling congestion must include making active travel a realistic option for locals – and that means making shared paths safe and complete. Over 1 kilometre of new footpaths will be constructed before the end of the financial year around the Robina Town Centre filling in missing links and addressing accessibility issues. The “Thorngate Drive” footpath project, one of the largest, completes the Active Towns project by connecting Robina Woods to Robina Town Centre. And a new footpath from Cheltenham Drive to ‘the Promenade’ will improve accessibility to Lake Lido. One of three new signalised pedestrian crossings have already been completed, with two more set for construction over Cheltenham Drive and Laver Drive.
To learn more about the benefits of active transport, visit Council’s website: cityofgoldcoast.com.au/activetravel
The former will make it safe for residents in the Thorngate Drive and Glenside Drive catchments to use public transport and get to the shops without crossing four lanes of traffic. And the latter will do the same for those at The Glades and Cambridge Residences.
CR HERMANN VORSTER Division 11 Councillor
These investments rely on locals changing their behaviour – opting to leave the car at home for quick local trips to the shops, school and parks.
