A new auditorium, library, community meeting rooms, learning facilities and performance spaces will be developed at the site of the old Nerang Administration Precinct on the Gold Coast.
The Gold Coast City Council have given the green light to transform the former Nerang Administration Centre, Bicentennial Building, and former Town and Country site into a community hub and mixed-used precinct.
Centred around the Hinterland Gateway Community Hub, it will also be designed to be used as an evacuation centre during natural disasters.
The Council’s commercial advisory arm Invest Gold Coast will manage the market process to identify development partners capable of delivering the precinct’s housing, community, and environmental objectives.
Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate said the council was committed to a partnership approach that would leverage private sector investment and delivery efficiencies.
“Community facilities will be included in the project as returnable works to be delivered by a development partner in exchange for land for a Council-approved mixed use development,” Cr Tate said.
“This project has the potential to support housing diversity, including key worker housing, attract investment and deliver contemporary community facilities for the growing region.”
