The Gold Coast is one of the best places for whale watching in Australia as approximately 16,000 Humpback Whales will pass through until late October. We guarantee that if you look closely, you will see a whale every day along the beach.

enjoyable, we are giving away tickets to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, Timezone, Infinity, Putt Putt Mermaid Beach and Game Over Gold Coast! For your chance to win, simply fill in our Holiday Planner on our website: hellogoldcoast.com.au We hope that you will enjoy your stay on the Gold Coast and we wish you a wonderful holiday. Your Editors,

Emma

Welcome to the Gold Coast best kept secret! The magnificent Hinterland is a series of mountains known to the locals as the Green behind the Gold. The air is crisp and fresh and the locals are friendly and welcoming. Only a short distance from the pristine beaches you will find some of the world's most beautiful rainforests in the 20,000-hectare World Heritage Listed Lamington National Park & The Great Dividing Range. In total, these areas contain more than 500 waterfalls. Have a crack at all or part of the spectacular 54km Gold Coast Hinterland Great Walk.

TAMBORINE MOUNTAIN is often referred to as the jewel in the Gold Coast crown and that is just what you will find as you browse through Gallery Walks craft shops, art galleries, magnificent cafes and superb wineries. At Tasselldom, you will find some of the mountain's best food, coffee and some simply exquisite art & craft. At the Drysdale Gallery you are guaranteed all products are made in Australia. With nine national parks on the mountain top, you are guaranteed to find a walk suitable for all ages. Curtis Falls is a spring fed waterfall that flows all year round with a 48 | hellogoldcoast.com.au

M AP S & TRANS PORT MOTORING TIPS If you wish to drive on the Gold Coast you must hold a current, valid driving licence issued in the country in which you live. Carry it with you at all times when driving. Vehicles travel on the left side of the road.

Avoid drinking alcohol before driving and you must not drive if your blood alcohol level is 0.05% or higher. Queensland has strict laws on drinking and driving and the police do actively enforce them.

Make sure you always carry a current road map and before you take off on your trip please take the time to familiarise yourself with the local streets and area and the speed limits that apply.

In a built-up area, you should drive no faster than 50 km/h unless there is a sign stating otherwise. Give way to the right at unsigned cross intersections. Obey the speed limit.

All occupants of a vehicle must wear seatbelts at all times and it is illegal to use a hand-held mobile telephone when driving... Heavy fines apply! If you are riding a bicycle, moped, motor scooter or a motorcycle, it is the law that you wear a crash helmet.

90 | hellogoldcoast.com.au

A STOP sign means all wheels of your vehicle must come to a complete halt. A u-turn is not allowed at a set of traffic lights unless a sign states you can. Most of all share the road safely and responsibly. In an emergency, phone 000 for police, fire or ambulance.

DELIVERING A SUSTAINABLE GC2018 THE GOLD COAST 2018 COMMONWEALTH GAMES (GC2018) WILL TAKE PLACE FROM 4–15 APRIL 2018. As we prepare to welcome 1.5 million spectators, and 6,600 athletes and officials from 70 nations and territories, the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games Corporation (GOLDOC) has been focused on integrating sustainability across the organisation. This weaves into all aspects of GC2018 event planning. At its highest level, delivering a sustainable GC2018 is about identifying and managing key impacts across three intersecting themes:

OUR ENVIRONMENT OUR ECONOMY OUR SOCIETY Managing environmental impacts is an important aspect of GC2018 delivery. We’ve got amazing natural assets on the Gold Coast; the Hinterland, sunshine, clean air as well as beautiful beaches, creeks and waterways. GOLDOC’s focus is to protect the health of these by treading as lightly as possible and reducing use of pollutants such as 118 | hellogoldcoast.com.au

plastic bags and helium balloons. There is also a good flow on effect for other events and activities on the Gold Coast to follow suit. GOLDOC is also working hard to limit carbon emissions and reduce waste to landfill through innovative waste management practices in line with the Waste and Recovery Hierarchy (avoid, reduce, reuse, recycle, recover, dispose). GOLDOC recognises that its work to manage environmental impacts has a natural flow on effect for our local economy and community. The more we recycle, the more we divert from Gold Coast landfills. The cleaner our oceans, the stronger our tourism proposition is. The more people use active public and shared (carpooling) transport, the less greenhouse gases we emit, therefore the less pollution in the air. From an economic perspective, GOLDOC will procure a significant amount of goods and services to delivery GC2018. In order to

responsibly manage its supply chain and enhance sustainability performance GOLDOC has developed a Sustainable Sourcing Code and Materials and Packaging Policy for all suppliers and sponsors. Social sustainability is also about inclusion, diversity and accessibility. GC2018 will be an event that welcomes participation by people of every gender, race, socio-economic status, orientation or ability with a particular emphasis on eliminating barriers (physical or otherwise) to a safe, independent and dignified GC2018 experience. The Gold Coast’s Mayor Tom Tate recently opened the inaugural Accessible Tourism Forum and spoke to how we are all working together to increase access on the Gold Coast in the lead up to GC2018 and thereafter.

BROADBEACH BOWLS CLUB UPGRADE Athletes and spectators will be bowled over by the new facilities at the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games (GC2018), such as the $4 million Broadbeach Bowls Club upgrade unveiled in 2016. The upgrade has transformed the site into a worldclass venue, ready to host the GC2018 lawn bowls competition. This represents an investment in local community infrastructure and in the future of the Gold Coast.

GOLDOC’s vision for sustainability is to demonstrate leadership in sustainability for GC2018 by using international best practices to deliver economic, environmental, social and community legacies. We are witnessing a City in transformation with new sporting venues and accommodation offerings coming on line, the Light Rail extension and more sporting events taking place on the Gold Coast.

“AS WE COUNT DOWN THE

DAYS UNTIL WE WELCOME THE WORLD, GOLDOC IS FOCUSED ON DELIVERING A SUSTAINABLE GC2018 AND LEAVING A LASTING LEGACY FOR THE GOLD COAST.”

THE CLUB WILL ALSO HOST THE 2020 WORLD BOWLS CHAMPIONSHIPS AFTER THE 2018 COMMONWEALTH GAMES. hellogoldcoast.com.au | 119

GOLD COAST NATURE PARKS

T H E W I L D O U T D O O R S

The Gold Coast is known for its "green behind the gold" and is considered to be one of the most biodiverse cities in Australia (our main rivals are the Tweed Shire and the Johnstone/Douglas shires in the wet tropics). Approximately 50 per cent of the Gold Coast land area is native vegetation. A forested hinterland stretches from the New South Wales border to the northern limits of the city. This hinterland expanse is critical in preserving the biodiversity of our region and is essential for wildlife requiring large expanses of continuous, intact habitat. It forms what is called a bioregional corridor, that links the hinterland with the lowlands on the coast and out to the islands and waterways of southern Moreton Bay. City of Gold Coast (the City) manages 13,000 hectares of natural areas that include conservation parks, reserves and urban bushland areas which provide valuable habitat for native animals and form critical wildlife corridors. In terms of fauna, there are confirmed records for: • 38 types of native frog • 74 types of native reptile • 84 types of native mammals • Remarkably, 352 types of Australia’s approximately 800 species of bird. 132 | hellogoldcoast.com.au

It is estimated that of all the different vertebrate fauna species found throughout Australia, over one-quarter have been recorded within the Gold Coast city boundary. This includes the presence of at least 72 species considered to be threatened or near-threatened throughout Queensland. In terms of flora, we have at least 1,700 native species of plants occurring within the city. To put this in perspective, that’s almost eight per cent of all types of plants in Australia, in around one-tenth of a per cent of the land area. More significantly, we are thought to possess the highest concentration of threatened plants in Australia, with over 70 species

–

threatened in Queensland, and more than 60 species nationally. The City is working to protect our threatened species and conserve our unique biodiversity through a range of programs. The City’s Nature Conservation Strategy aims to ensure that native vegetation cover across the Gold Coast remains at 50 per cent, increasing to 55 per cent by 2040. Remember, virtually anywhere you visit, particularly in the southern hinterland, you are almost guaranteed to come across at least one type of threatened or nearthreatened plant. So whether you’re visiting a national park or traveling along a rural hinterland road, you are looking at something special. With such an enviable natural environment right on our doorstep, there are countless activities locals and visitors can do to experience the best our natural

ARE YOU ‘STORM READY’? Our city welcomes around 12.7 million visitors annually. Hello Gold Coast is here to give those visitors an insight in to what’s happening in this dynamic and vibrant city we call home. Equally, media has a key role in ensuring our visitors, and residents, are well informed should a natural disaster strike our community. Right now, storm season is looming, meaning the 550,000 Gold Coasters need to ‘get ready’. Recently, I packed our family home emergency kit as I know the best protection is to be prepared. This year, some small businesses are partnering with City of Gold Coast to encourage disaster readiness. These stores sell many of the items needed for an emergency kit.

As Mayor, I’m committed to ensuring our city is as prepared as possible for storm season. As a community, we all have a role to play in keeping ourselves, our families, pets and homes safe. Visitors can obtain all the latest information during a disaster at: facebook.com/cityofgoldcoast or by tuning in to local radio (ABC Coast FM, HOT Tomato, 4CRB, SEAFM, GOLDFM or JUICEFM). For more information on disaster readiness and a list of retail partners visit: cityofgoldcoast.com.au/ getready
