Gold Coast City Council has delivered a record $777 million in the 2023-24 budget to build and upgrade infrastructure across the Gold Coast.
The capital works program will focus on “keeping the city moving” with improvements to major roads and better traffic management.
Mayor Tom Tate says it’s a massive investment, as part of the $2.2 billion City Budget.
“This is a ‘building budget’ – a budget that is ‘building for the future’ now, including $378 million on transport and roads infrastructure,’’ Mayor Tate says.
“Before we drafted the 2023-24 budget, we called on Gold Coasters to have their say. More than 6100 responded and they made it clear the road network was the number one City service most valued,
“In 2023-24, we will invest $190.78 million in the road network as well as $35.7 million on transport improvements and a further $54 million on road resealing and pavement work.”
