Gold Coast Arena Project

project in tender

The project involves the development of a new 12,000-seat multipurpose indoor arena in Southport, Gold Coast, designed to host major sporting events, concerts, esports, exhibitions, and other large-scale entertainment. Located at Carey Park, the arena is a flagship infrastructure investment aligned with preparations for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The initiative is being advanced through a global Expression of Interest (EOI) process, where the City of Gold Coast is seeking qualified consortia to design, finance, construct, operate, and maintain the facility under a long-term public–private partnership model. The arena will be equipped with modern technology, flexible seating, and back-of-house facilities to meet international event standards, and is projected to open by 2030, in time for the Olympic lead-up.
