Hear from award-winning architects how good design shapes our city
What makes a place feel like the Gold Coast?
Great design is about more than individual buildings. It's about how homes, community facilities, streets and public spaces work together to create vibrant, connected and memorable places.
Join our award-winning architects as they explore how thoughtful design can shape neighbourhoods, strengthen local identity and help create a Gold Coast that is resilient, liveable and uniquely its own.
Speakers:
Matt Eagle – ME
Justin Humphrey – Justin Humphrey Architects
Lindsay Clare – Clare Design
Richard Coulson – Cox Architecture
