City Budget spotlight on our connected community

In response to your City Budget feedback we're prioritising transport improvements and tackling road congestion in 2023-24.

As our city population continues to grow, so will our transport services. The 2023–24 City Budget is investing $378 million this year in infrastructure, cycleways, roads, bridges and public transport.

The Gold Coast has 20 primary schools and two high schools in the City’s Active School Travel Program. An average of 32% of students now walk and cycle to school, saving over 4 million vehicle kilometres a year.

We’re allocating funds to our free bus travel for seniors and veterans initiative, with more than 47,000 senior and veteran cardholders taking one million free trips a year.

The City continues to fund the maintenance of the local road network. On average, we repair 17,000 potholes and reseal 31km of roads each year.

This budget delivers for all as we work to preserve our city's lifestyle.

Take the scenic route and hop on a Lime bike

Spring has arrived and it's the perfect time to avoid the traffic and opt for a cruise along our pathways on a Lime bike.

Whether you're heading to work, school or taking a social ride with your mates, eBikes are an easy and sustainable way to get to your Gold Coast destination.
