Councillor Calls for Consultation on Gold Coast Arena Towers
Published · Cenlocal summary
Southport councillor Brooke Patterson says more public consultation is needed if residential towers are added to the proposed arena at Carey Park.
Southport councillor Brooke Patterson says further public consultation is needed if residential towers are included in the proposed Gold Coast Arena development at Carey Park.
Mayor Tom Tate recently said residential towers could form part of the project, with their sale helping offset rising costs for the developers.
Concerns raised
Cr Patterson said including towers would be a major step away from the original concept and from what ratepayers were asked to comment on. She voted against council exploring that funding option.
What's next
The mayor is expected to discuss planning for the arena with the Deputy Premier next month. Residents interested in the project can follow updates from the City of Gold Coast.
