Our Coastal Lifestyle, Co-design Engagement

Beaches and waterways are an important cornerstone of life on the Gold Coast.

Waterways and foreshore parks support a significant component of the region’s economy and have positioned the city as a premier tourist destination and a place many want to live.

Investment into the management of these beaches and waterways is key to allowing them to prosper now and into the future.

Fourfold Studio partnered with City of Gold Coast to craft an integrated and collaborative engagement process and also to help review, reflect and share outcomes of the existing Ocean Beaches Strategy (2013 - 2023). A refreshed road-map was also needed to help guide the management of the City’s waterway assets for the next 10-years.

Client: City of Gold Coast

Fourfold Studio ran a series of activities with Council staff and key stakeholders exploring how best to achieve the project objectives. A wider community engagement strategy also included online updates and surveys, pop-ups, small group engagement and co-design workshops and a youth council session.

This multi-phased engagement program focuses on the delivery of activities to understand local aspirations that will create the foundation for a place-based strategy response.
