Accessible
We’re Very User Friendly
The Gold Coast is gaining a reputation as one of the most inclusive cities in Australia and is a preferred destination for travellers with accessibility needs. From our airport to accommodation, shopping centres, public parks and beaches, we’re proud of the significant progress we’ve made. We’re working to ensure there are more opportunities for people of all abilities to experience a range of accessible and inclusive events, entertainment, natural areas, tourism experiences and local sports and recreational activities in our city.
Experience Gold Coast continues to work closely with various levels of government, community partners, our suppliers and other agencies to create a city where everyone’s included. And crucially, the City of Gold Coast partners with people who have lived experience of disability to inform the development of more inclusive activities, venues and initiatives.
