WE’RE TRACKING TOWARDS REAL GAMES CHANGER

- PETER BEATTIE

IN just 203 days the Gold Coast 2018 Commonweal­th Games (GC2018) will be the spectacula­r culminatio­n of the hard work of thousands of people.

True to our vision, we are on track to successful­ly deliver a great Games and Australia’s biggest multisport event this decade from April 4-15, 2018.

It’s an event that will transform the local jobs market, accelerate and diversify economic growth and drive domestic and internatio­nal visitors like never before.

The GC2018 model is built to invest in projects that will provide high social, community and infrastruc­ture value.

The objectives for the Gold Coast and the event cities of Brisbane, Cairns and Townsville is to leave each city in a better place than before.

GC2018 will also provide a significan­t avenue, through its exciting Festival 2018 program and school and community programs, to inform generation­s of Queensland­ers and other Australian­s of the importance of not only the Commonweal­th Games but its major cultural assets and social responsibi­lities.

The success of the Glasgow 2014 Commonweal­th Games rejuvenate­d the Games movement by regenerati­ng the host city’s events and tourism sector.

TRUE TO OUR VISION, WE ARE ON TRACK TO SUCCESSFUL­LY DELIVER A GREAT GAMES ...

This created a newfound civic pride, investment in sustainabl­e community infrastruc­ture and drove economic activity in small and medium sized businesses.

This momentum will continue on the Gold Coast in just a few months’ time when the excitement begins and some truly memorable experience­s await us all.
