COMMITMENT: CREATION OF PERMANENT BODY AFTER THE COMMONWEALTH GAMES TO MAXIMISE LEGACY

Under its charter, GOLDOC will not exist six months after the Commonwealth Games. Research from other key sporting showpieces shows the potential economic legacy from major events can be lost after the athletes leave.

The city needs a permanent group experienced in the staging of international events and use of venues. It will safeguard the Coast from a Games hangover and maximise the once-in-a-lifetime opportunities April’s event generates.
