FROM THE EDITOR Winter is finally coming to an end and even though clear skies, dry air and cool nights are enjoyable, we love our warm and sunny weather here on the Gold Coast! Spring season means the warmer days and mild tropical evenings are coming back, which is ideal for outdoor activities like fishing, sailing or to visit the local day or night markets. This season is also known for being windy, which should be perfect for those wanting to try sports like kite-surfing, kite-boarding or windsurfing. But letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not forget that this season is still the whale season â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from June to November. In fact, the Gold Coast is one of the best places for whale watching in Australia, because daily sightings last the entire season! We bet that if you look closely, you will see a whale each day along the beach (for a full list of the Gold Coast beaches, read page 126).

Gold Coast in Spring. Whether you wish to spend your time by the beach or catch a ride to explore the hinterland, this edition has got it all covered. With a combination of attractions, tours, restaurants, shopping and transport options, we will make your stay easy. If you still cannot find what you are looking for, you can also visit our website hellogoldcoast.com.au and use our Holiday Planner to help you plan the best trip according to your need. We hope that you enjoy your time on the Gold Coast and we wish you a wonderful holiday. Your Editors,

Emma

& the Hello Gold Coast team.

Just 30 minutes from the coast, the Green behind the Gold is untouched. Its lush beauty stretches as far as the eye can see and breathes in harmony with the pulse of the Pacific Ocean swells that pound our golden beaches. The Gold Coast Hinterland is equally perfect for a romantic escape or a nature-based adventure for family and friends. Be awestruck on bushwalks through subtropical rainforests that house living ancient relics and lava flows, crystal waterfalls cascading into rock pools and abundant native wildlife.

Due to its pristine condition and under-canopy diversity, the Hinterland’s national parks have been World Heritage listed by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO). The area is a hotbed for the international science and conservation community which means you truly will explore one of the earth’s best eco-experiences.

GOLD COAST BEACHES

The Gold Coast name says it all – 70 kilometres of sun kissed sand stretching from Cabarita Beach and Fingal North to Main Beach and South Stradbroke Island. For over a century, the Gold Coast’s stunning beaches have proven a drawcard to holidaymakers. The weather, with an average of eight hours of sunshine, 300 days a year makes a beach visit irresistible. Beaches consisting of pristine white sand, sheltered bays and rolling surf have something for everyone. Beach culture can be a way of life – early morning walks, explore the rock pools, learn to surf or try your hand at beach fishing. More than 40 beaches are patrolled during peak summer holiday periods. Make sure you swim at patrolled beaches, clearly defined by red and yellow flags and be advised by the experts – the Gold Coast City Council’s professional lifeguards and volunteers from Queensland Surf Life Saving Clubs.

126 | hellogoldcoast.com.au

Surf clubs make visitors welcome and most have magnificent to be seen to be believed views, extensive dining areas, bars and poker machines. Many beach areas are adjacent to parklands which offer family-friendly facilities. Free BBQs, hot water, toilets, seating and the necessary welcoming shade trees. Here’s a guide to some of the Gold Coast’s most popular beaches.

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. 130 | 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

MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR TOM TATE Cultural precinct will deliver so much for our city. In early 2016, one of the most significant projects in our city’s history will start to rise from the ground at Evandale. The Gold Coast Cultural Precinct will give our city, and its 11 million-plus annual visitors, a venue to celebrate art, culture and creative enterprises. As Mayor, I have driven this project from the outset and thank my fellow councillors for sharing this vision. Key to the support for this project has been to ensure the precinct is delivered without additional burden on our ratepayers. To achieve this, I have led a valuefor-money program across Council for the past three and a half years. This has delivered multi-million dollar savings year after year from our $1.3 billion annual budget. Those savings have ensured we have delivered the lowest rate increases for more than a decade while still budgeting for world-class developments like the cultural precinct. The precinct, on a 16.9 hectare site at Evandale, Bundall, will evolve over the next decade as Council secures funding from its value-formoney program. With new visual and performing arts facilities and an outdoor artscape, the precinct will support the city’s already thriving cultural evolution. 138 | hellogoldcoast.com.au

One of the key elements of Stage 1 is a versatile outdoor performance space. Integrated into the surrounding artscape, it will cater for concerts, events, festivals and cinema as well as being an important civic venue when the City hosts the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games. Work on stage one starts next month with the City’s Buy Local policy putting strong emphasis on local businesses and local tradespeople winning the bulk of the work. Stage one will be complete in time for the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games™. TOM TATE Mayor
