5 MAYOR’S REPORT (Continued) 5.1 RECENT VISITS AND SPEECHES (Continued)

Solar Panels Announcement

The Gold Coast Aquatic Centre will be fitted with a 340 kilowatt solar array of 1300 panels, reducing annual running costs by $100,000.

The upgrade is an important part of the ongoing sustainability plans for the city during 2018 and beyond.

The Gold Coast is an emerging world class business destination with a strong and globally competitive business environment and we want to ensure we remain sustainable and environmentally responsible.

Initiatives like this benefit ratepayers and the city by reducing electricity and maintenance costs and improving our performance in terms of energy efficiency.

Our annual electricity expenditure has almost doubled over the past 10 years and we need to reduce our reliance on the current system by investing in alternative energy sources.

Work will commence on the project in July to ensure completion in time for GC2018. The project will cost $654,000.

During the Commonwealth Games, the eyes of the world will be upon us and this initiative will help highlight our city’s commitment to renewable energy practices.

This project, along with other energy efficiency initiatives on the horizon will provide ongoing environmental and financial benefits for the whole community.



International Media Conference - 2017 Sudirman Cup

From 21-28 May, the best players in the world from 32 countries were here on the Gold Coast for the 2017 Sudirman Cup at the new Gold Coast Sports & Leisure Centre at Carrara.

This huge International sports event is the premier badminton team event and will be watched by more than 500 million people around the world, and bring in more than $10 million to the Gold Coast.

You can't buy exposure like this, as our city was showcased around the world.

The Sudirman Cup is another opportunity for us to show that the Gold Coast is a great place for major sports events.



Media Launch 2017 Rotary Kokoda Beach Classic

It was my honour to launch this event which combines a fun and healthy family activity with an opportunity to commemorate the ‘heroes’ who fought on the Kokoda Track to save Australia in 1942.

This event is developing as an iconic annual Gold Coast event to be held on the first Sunday following Kokoda Day (8 August) each year.

I congratulate the Rotary Club of Broadwater Southport for this fantastic initiative.

The courses take in on our fabulous beaches, whilst the event also places focus on those selfless heroes from the Kokoda Track and the deeds of all past and present Australian servicemen and women.

This year’s event is on 20 August and all proceeds go to Soldier On Australia, Legacy Australia and Nippers of the Gold Coast.

Official Launch of the 29th Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show

There was $10 million worth of luxury vehicles, with $130 million worth of boats on display on water alone.

The show features 10 international debuts of luxury vessels including two locally built multi-million dollar Maritimos, but also an expanded trailer and leisure boat section called The Boatyard.

This is truly internationally recognised marine and boating event, but not only that there is always something in it for everyone whether or not you are looking at a Monte Carlo yacht or a little paddle boat.

There was also the opportunity to buy everything from a Superyacht to sunglasses “that don’t sink”.

A lot of these boats are built right here on the Gold Coast and that means jobs for the next generation and it makes me proud to be Mayor of a city and reflect on having a world-class event.



Launch of Diversity Gold Coast

150 new Australian citizens will be welcomed to the city in a unique outdoor citizenship ceremony as part of the 2017 Diversity Gold Coast celebrations this Saturday

The ceremony will take place at Gold Coast Chinatown and will be followed by an evening of free live entertainment, creative lighting displays, multicultural market stalls, information booths and international street food stalls.

In the last 12 months, the City has officially welcomed more than 3127 new Australian citizens from more than 60 countries around the world.

Culture encompasses language, food, the arts, customs and social behaviour and every new citizen brings with them a wealth of cultural experiences that enrich our community.

That’s what this event is about – recognising and celebrating everyone’s background, embracing the benefits of our cultural differences and showing our support for these important new residents.

For information visit cityofgoldcoast.com.au/diversitygc



Launch of the New Cities Research Institute Griffith University

The leading Cities Research Institute, which began as the Urban Research Program in 2004, has drawn in expertise from several disciplines and grown to have 70 academic members, 35-plus adjunct members and more than 120 PhD scholars who are committed to tackling these complex issues.

The research team, based across Griffith’s Gold Coast and Nathan campuses, is focussed on four key themes of intelligent infrastructure, quality places and changing communities, smart cities and coastal resilience and urban water.

Experts including transport and land use planners, civil engineers, system modellers, environmental scientists, economic and social researchers, coastal engineers, geographers and architects drive research in these themes and collaborate on a range of projects.

The Institute’s work is crucial to the long-term success and growth of the city.

Planners and engineers from around the Asia-Pacific region are looking to learn from our experience and expertise in coastal management.

I’m pleased to see the new Institute puts so much emphasis on doing high quality research that focuses on the real world challenges we face.

While we can learn from other cities, the rest of the world has much to learn from us – and the new Institute will help us share that story.”



Meeting with Charles Hicks and Family

It was a pleasure to meet with Charles and family.

As you know Councillors, Charles wrote to me regarding his grandfather’s donation to the city and wanted to meet with me in person.

Charles expressed his gratitude and respect to Council for utilising his grandfather’s generous gift to the city.

He echoed his grandfather’s favourite sayings "you can't stop progress".



Launch of Botanic Gardens Open Day & Kaialgumm Games Trail

The city’s first Indigenous games trail were launched at the Gold Coast Botanic Gardens Open Day last Sunday.

The Open Day had free activities, guided walks, bush food displays, workshops and plant sales.

The Botanic Gardens is one of our most prized parks and our shaded, toddler-friendly playground is especially designed for adventure and imagination.

It gives children a unique, natural play experience that is different to a conventional playground.

And the new Kaialgumm Games Trail gives people a special insight into our Indigenous heritage.

The Kaialgumm Games Trail gives people the chance to try traditional games that were played by Indigenous children in many different parts of Australia.

Most of these games were played to help children learn skills they needed later in adult life - hunting, fighting and looking after children.

The word “kaialgumm” comes from the local Yugambeh language of the Gold Coast. The “kaialgumm” was traditionally the chief in hunting.

Gold Coast Botanic Gardens has more than five kilometres of paths and boardwalks to explore through shaded groves, gardens and lagoons.

The 2016 parks survey validated the community’s love of the City’s parks.

And that’s why we’re investing $77.3 million into parks, maintaining and protecting our open public spaces and creating new parks for everyone to enjoy.”



Installation of Fibre Optic Cabling Announcement

The City’s capacity to deliver greater broadband speed is being greatly enhanced with high speed fibre optic cabling being laid.

This week the team will begin installing 20 kilometres of high speed fibre optics at Broadbeach.

The cable will follow the light rail route to Helensvale and support the delivery of world-class broadband speeds for thousands of businesses and residences.

This will also boost our city’s CCTV capacity and support our Disaster Management Unit operations at Southport.

High speed fibre optics such as this has a wide range of benefits including:

upgrading the city's operational network emergency response, parks maintenance, water and waste management, transport, libraries;

support economic growth including the establishment and growth of industries including high-tech, medical and research;

connect the cultural precinct to global networks for live link-ups of performances and events;

support public/tourism Wi-Fi; and

support global broadcasting of music, sporting and cultural events in the city.

It will be installed in time for the 2018 Commonwealth Games and just goes to show that we are way ahead when it comes to planning for our future, post GC2018.

The project is being delivered as part of the City’s Digital City Program, and will be finished by December 2017 and the fibre optic switched on around Christmas this year.



Host Luncheon Delegates China's Torch High Technology Industry Development Centre

City of Gold Coast partnered with Queensland Government to host the Chinese Torch Delegation.

The Torch High Technology Industry Development Centre (Torch) from China’s Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) lead a Chinese investors’ delegation to visit Queensland from 23-27 May 2017 to coincide with the Sudirman Cup on the Gold Coast (21-28 May 2017).

The delegation was led by Mr An Daochang, Deputy Director General, Torch, MOST and included almost 25 potential investors/collaborators from Chinese science and tech zones, incubators and science businesses.

I spoke at this lunch, promoting the city as ‘open for busines’s and the GCHKP and Griffith University as smart investment opportunities

Torch have shown interest in the possibility of establishing a Queensland - Torch Health and Medical/Pharmaceutical Precinct/ Incubator as a platform for future collaboration between China and Queensland, built on their experience from the Torch UNSW experience.

Our focus is on the investment into the Knowledge and Health Precinct as well as any direct business matching with local Gold Coast companies



Polo by the Sea

This was its 5th year, with 3000 people attending

This is yet another great event added to our city’s events calendar!
