The City’s Surf Network has now hit the streets of Chevron Island, with residents and visitors now able to access free, high-speed Wi-Fi along Thomas Drive. Users will be connected to speeds close to 30mbs, fast enough to watch two Netflix movies simultaneously, depending on the users distance from a Wi-Fi device. Our $10 million investment in a high-speed fibre optic network has made the Surf Network a reality for the Gold Coast. We plan to connect through Chevron Island and our cultural precinct to our main tourism hubs. Precincts within Southport, Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach and Coolangatta were connected to the Surf Network last year, prior to the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games, when over 25,000 people used the network. The Surf Network is just one way we’re achieving our vision to be Australia’s leading digital city and deliver the fastest internet in Australia by 2021. 776th Council Meeting 10 30 July 2019 Minutes 5 MAYOR’S REPORT (Continued) 5.1 RECENT VISITS AND SPEECHES (Continued) 2019 Vodafone Gold Coast 600 Launch The Gold Coast 600 is the City's largest annual event, being held this year from October 25-27. It attracts around 200,000 spectators each year and provides an all-round entertainment event. It also brings in millions of dollars into the Gold Coast economy. This year's event will feature seven artists on two stages inside the precinct for the first time. 776th Council Meeting 11 30 July 2019 Minutes 5 MAYOR’S REPORT (Continued) 5.1 RECENT VISITS AND SPEECHES (Continued) Aerial Inspection Palm Beach Artificial Reef & Kurrawa Seawall Project It’s full steam ahead for the City’s ongoing coastal protection program, with construction underway on the $18.2 million Palm Beach Artificial Reef and the $1.1 million Kurrawa Park seawall at Broadbeach. Our beaches are an important asset that contributes to both our economy and lifestyle. We’ve invested more than $30 million into a range of beach measures over 2018-19 to ensure our beaches are protected against coastal hazards and are here for future generations. The $1.5 million seawall rebuild at the southern end of Narrowneck is nearing completion, with works expected to finish this month, subject to weather conditions. Construction and management of seawalls is part of the City’s shoreline response to coastal erosion, with 14 kilometres of public urban shoreline that require seawall protection. The City also conducts an annual $1 million dredging operation at both Tallebudgera and Currumbin Creeks to replenish beaches at Burleigh and Palm Beach. Dredging of Tallebudgera Creek commenced last week, with works expected to finish in time for the September school holidays. Once complete, the dredge will move onto Currumbin Creek. Approximately 1000 cubic metres of sand will be pumped from Tallebudgera Creek on to southern Burleigh beach daily, with natural processes assisting with transporting additional sand north. A further 30,000,000 cubic metres of sand from Currumbin Creek mouth will be used to nourish southern Palm Beach. 776th Council Meeting 12 30 July 2019 Minutes 5 MAYOR’S REPORT (Continued) 5.1 RECENT VISITS AND SPEECHES (Continued) Launch of New Active and Healthy Campaign I joined with Titans player Jai Arrow and Suns player Sam Collins in a Pilates class at Carrara to launch the City’s new Active and Healthy program. This year, our focus is on empowering people to say I CAN. It is all about being inspired and empowered to live a healthy lifestyle and what better inspiration than our football players – our city’s active and healthy role models.
