One year on from the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games, the Queensland Government has released new economic modelling showing the Gold Coast will generate $61 million from investment into Gold Coast venues for the Games.
Games Minister Kate Jones said the 50 events the Gold Coast City Council has booked for 2020 would not have been possible without the government’s $1.5 billion investment into infrastructure.
The government also said 320 events were held in Commonwealth Games venues in the six months after the games, with the upgraded Gold Coast Aquatic Centre set to host the World Lifesaving Championships in 2024.
