LocationScale
andNumberof
Centres
The Activity Centre Strategy 1998 identifies a role and function for
each individual centres and relates each one to those of other
centres within the City, contributing to a coordinated system of
Activity Centres for Gold Coast City community. It seeks to promote
a system of diverse, multi-faceted, environmentally, socially and
economically sustainable Activity Centres which will enhance
prosperityfor thebusinessandresidential community.
3.2.5ActivityCentres KeyIssues
The aimof the strategy is to achieve benefits fromthe clustering of
certain functions, in terms of both economic and cultural
considerations. It also assumes that community benefits flow from
the selective allocation of particular services to those locations,
whereaccesstotheservicecatchment canbeoptimised.
.The location and size of individual Activity Centres are closely
related to the historical development of the region and the influence
of transport technology, as well as innovations in service industries,
particularly in retailing. Gold Coast City differs fromother similarly
sized cities within Australia in that it does not have a single
dominant business centre. The resulting mix of traditional town
centres, tourist resort areas, major stand-alone regional shopping
facilities and industrial and commercial precincts is now well
established, and will inevitably continue to be a feature of Gold
Coast City.
Gold Coast City has a large supply of retail and commercial
floorspace, together with an extensive supply of vacant commercial
land, which is capable of being developed for such purposes. The
large stock of existing commercial land has allowed newcentres to
be developed, at the expense of the consolidation and rejuvenation
of existingcentres.
Principle: Centres and other key facilities within the neighbourhood
sited, planned and designed for the comfort of users and to provide
anattractivelocal destination.
Requirement: Centres to be sited for maximumaspect and access
(physicallyandvisually).

The future of centres within the city will be driven by a number of
important factors, these being the availability of a relatively cheap
source of transportation fuel, the finite volume of suitable residential
land stocks, demographic and population trends, increasing
community desire for time, convenient goods and services, and
global andregional environmental concerns.
