INTRODUCTION
The Opportunity
From 4-15 April 2018, the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games showcased 11 days of world class sporting competition.
The XXI Commonwealth Games was the first large-scale multi-sport spectacle to be hosted in Australia for over a decade and the first in a regional city.
GC2018 was our once-in-a-generation opportunity to embrace the excitement, enthusiasm and community interest in the Commonwealth Games. But the Commonwealth Games was about more than a
world-class sporting competition. Through the Games, the Commonwealth Games Federation aimed to:
“... attract and build on public, private and social partnerships that widely benefit Commonwealth athletes, sports and communities.”
GC2018 Partners [Australian Government, Queensland Government, City of Gold Coast (City) and the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games Corporation (GOLDOC)] worked together to ensure the
Gold Coast, Queensland and Australia were set to experience an economic and social uplift through activities such as:
• venue and infrastructure development
• precinct improvements around key venues
• improved skills and opportunities for business
• international competition for our Australian athletes
• increased tourism and event attraction
• community celebrations.
