Have your say on the future of our southern Gold Coast

November is a busy month for community engagement in Division 14, with two important projects currently seeking feedback from residents, businesses and visitors.

Tugun Pump Track Upgrade
The City is proposing to replace the existing dirt BMX track at Betty Diamond Sports Complex with a modern asphalt pump track designed for riders of varying ages and abilities. Community feedback will help refine the concept design before it is finalised, including the proposed layout, rider experience and whether some dirt-riding opportunities should be retained. Consultation is open until 16 November 2026.

Local businesses, families and park users are also invited to our community pop-up at Betty Diamond Sports Complex on Saturday 14 November, from 8.30am to 11.30am. Come along to learn more about the project, provide feedback and enjoy a free sausage sizzle and BMX activation, including demonstrations from professional freestyle riders.

Greenmount Headland Revitalisation
Planning is also progressing for the revitalisation of the Greenmount Headland walkway, with construction expected to commence in mid-2027 and take up to 18 months. The project will renew ageing paths, stairs and platforms, improve accessibility and provide more durable infrastructure suited to the coastal environment.

Importantly, this next phase of consultation is focused on planning for construction and the impacts of the extended headland closure, rather than making further changes to the design. The City wants to better understand how people currently use the pathway, how the closure may affect them and what can be done to help manage disruption. Feedback from local businesses will be particularly valuable in helping the City understand potential impacts and communication needs during construction.

Two community pop-ups will be held at Greenmount:
• Thursday 26 November, 6am to 9am
• Saturday 5 December, 8am to 11am

Businesses and community members can also provide feedback online

These are two very different projects, but both demonstrate why early engagement matters. Our local businesses have an important perspective on how public spaces, access and construction impacts affect the broader area, so I encourage Southern Gold Coast businesses to take a few minutes to have their say.
