Hold onto your hard hats, Gold Coast families, because the highly anticipated Monster Machinery Day is back!
On Sunday, May 21, the Broadwater Parklands will transform into a haven of fun and education, celebrating its 20th year of entertaining the local community.
There will be more than 40 City vehicles on display including excavators, tip trucks, road sweepers, beach tractors and a flood boat. As an added bonus this year, the Pacific Airshow will have one of their planes on display.
“The City’s Monster Machinery Day is one of the biggest events on the Gold Coast calendar,” said Mayor Tom Tate.
“It gives our young locals a chance to learn about the machinery transforming and maintaining the Gold Coast. The big kid in all of us will enjoy it too.
“If your little ones love everything that digs, scoops, cleans and beeps then this is an event not to be missed.”
To accommodate the growing enthusiasm, Monster Machinery Day is spreading its wheels across the entire one-kilometer stretch of the Broadwater Parklands’ Great and Southern Lawns.

With the extra space, kids are encouraged to bring their scooters or bikes to help them get around.
There will be a bike maintenance mechanic at the event for the first time to freshen up your kids’ wheels!
Free activities include live machinery demonstrations, a super slide, a rock-climbing wall and a giant sand pit, plus there will be a selection of food trucks available throughout the day.
“I say to all the kids, dust off your work gear and imagine yourself as a landscaper, lifeguard, beach cleaner, construction worker or dune protector,” Mayor Tate said.
Monster Machinery Day will kick off at 9am Sunday 21 May 2023 at the Great and Southern Lawns, Broadwater Parklands, Marine Parade Southport.
