Gold Coast Health & Knowledge Precinct

Why We Were Appointed 

Originally built as a complex of residential towers to host 6,600 of the world’s greatest athletes, the village was converted into 1,251 apartments and townhouses, with a precinct boasting a supermarket, dining outlets, and a boutique retailer.

The project included many project issues and critical success factors, such as: 

• Securing government support for infrastructure

• Acquiring support from other industries (e.g. Griffith University)

• 24/7 activation strategy

• Livable Housing Australia (LHA) design certification

• Stakeholder management

• Designing the social fabric of a new community

• Setting up a blended owner-occupier, sustainable model.

The multi-award winning development is a pilot project for Green Star Communities sustainability rating, and achieved full marks in areas of ecosystems, waste management, energy, materials and community.
