Budget Brief with City of Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate

Thursday 24 July 

Join leading voices from across the Southern Gold Coast for a pivotal morning as City of Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate delivers the 2025–26 Budget Briefing.

This is a timely address exploring the City’s financial direction at a defining moment for local business, industry, and investment. As small and medium enterprises continue to face pressure, yet signs of renewed confidence begin to emerge, this year’s budget is more than a set of figures. It is a roadmap for resilience, renewal, and opportunity. With infrastructure, investment, and business growth at the heart of the City’s agenda, this briefing offers a direct lens into how public policy is being shaped to drive transformation across the Southern Gold Coast.

With the federal election behind us, key city-shaping projects now face renewed scrutiny. Funding, infrastructure, and the future of regional development are in sharp focus. As the Olympic Games draw closer and with the Mayor actively championing the Gold Coast’s interests statewide, this budget becomes not just a fiscal plan but a statement on our future.

You are invited to join us, where policy meets possibility, and the future of our city takes shape.
