Gold Coast Rapid Transit Corridor Study
The Gold Coast Rapid Transit (GCRT) Corridor Study provides recommendations for future directions for the approximately 2000 hectares of Gold Coast City surrounding the new light rail system.
The study aligns with Council's vision of leading the way towards a bold future that can sustain growth and economic development while retaining a lifestyle that is uniquely Gold Coast.
The study will inform the planning scheme to meet the future needs of the community and provide better buildings, better streets and better places.
A key recommendation of the study is to improve the streets and public spaces of the Gold Coast.
