Project Portfolio

SouthPort Master Plan involved the development of a Master Plan for Stage 1 from Concept to Detailed Design to Construction for the Gold Coast City Council. During the project a number of environmental and infrastructure issues were identified including: a seahorse colony; a protected mangrove area; availability of a suitable power supply; location of heritage protected buildings; availability of a suitable water supply; and the need to design sustainable solutions.

Stage 1 included:
• The great pier that extends 100m out into the Broadwater provides views of Surfers Paradise, The Spit and Southport.
• The events lawn, hosts some of the city’s largest events including the Gold Coast Airport Marathon and Carols by Candlelight.
• There are also places for a picnic, to kick a ball, toss a frisbee, or simply relax and enjoy the views of the open Broadwater.
• A public stage with a large outdoor screen provides a spot to watch movies.
• The Pavilion building, with a rooftop deck offering elevated views, has park information, public toilets and showers and there will be bike lockers to encourage commuters to use ‘pedal power’ to travel to and from Southport.
• A new pedestrian crossing links Nerang Street and the Southport CBD to the parklands in place of the existing underpass.
