Cultural Precinct Stage 1 to Take Centre Stage by 2018
Stage 1 of the Gold Coast Cultural Precinct is set to be ready ahead of the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games™. Mayor Tom Tate (17/2) unveiled the initial concept for the precinct's Stage 1, including a striking versatile outdoor stage. “Cultural Precinct winning design team ARM Architecture and Topotek1 has created a concept which they have labelled the Splash as a uniquely Gold Coast response to our need for a truly versatile outdoor performance space,” Mayor Tate said. The concept, emerging from the proposed grassed amphitheatre like a giant water splash from the adjacent Nerang River, will be subjected to detailed design development over the coming months to ensure it can deliver a versatile performance and activity space. Its form could evolve further. Estimated at $37 million over 3 years, Stage 1 will include: The Versatile Outdoor Space (The Splash concept), equipped with services and technology; Riverside Hub – adapting Council's existing Riverside Building to accommodate a transitional gallery for visual arts exhibitions, along with creative partnership spaces, administration, civic reception space, a potential creative tenancy and café and Initial Artscape works – linking Stage 1 facilities and Evandale Lake enhancements.www.goldcoast.qld.gov.au

All-New Launches, Attractions and Exhibitors set the Scene for Gold Coast International Marine Expo
Gold Coast International Marine Expo has confirmed that more than 50 per cent of its outdoor exhibitor space from 2014 has been sold less than eight weeks since the announcement of new May event dates. The news comes as the deadline nears for past exhibitors to claim their first right of refusal on their sites across an expanded Expo circuit that will, this year, encompass almost the entire Gold Coast Marine Precinct. “This year the Expo will have new boats, new product launches, new exhibitors, new attractions … and that's all in addition to a new site layout,” said Event & Marketing Manager Emma Milne. “The number of new exhibitors who have not previously been to Expo is also encouraging and it all points to a great experience for our 2015 Expo visitors.”www.gcmarineexpo.com.au
