Is your trip to the Waste and Recycling Centre essential?

Gold Coast residents are being asked to refrain from visiting the City’s Waste and Recycling Centres (WRC’s) unless it’s absolutely essential.

Mayor Tom Tate said social distancing and extra safety measures had been put in place at all WRC’s in response to the Covid-19 crisis, but a number of issues had emerged.

“There are now increasingly long wait times due to only every second parking bay being available and sadly, we’re seeing an increase in aggression against staff,” he said.

“So we’re asking the community to save their trip to the WRC until this crisis is over.

“The Federal Government has asked all of us to stay home, restrict our travel and only go out when it’s absolutely necessary.

“If you’re at home doing a house or garden clean up - that’s great, but please, hold off on going to a WRC.

“For the safety of you, your family and those around you please follow community advice, respect social distancing measures in place and stay home where possible.”

The Spit, Surfers Paradise and Coolangatta remain closed.

Mayor Tom Tate today announced that beach and car park restrictions would remain in place until next Monday.

"I would like to congratulate Gold Coasters for their efforts over the long weekend with the vast majority of people doing the right thing

"However I have decided to keep the three beaches closed until next Monday. It is still school holidays and we are not in a position to relax just yet. 

"I will review it next Monday."

"It is tough love, but it is still school holidays and the closures are working."

The Spit beach, Coolangatta Beach and Surfers Paradise Beach were closed last week due to high numbers of people continuing to visit beaches despite the warnings from the State and Federal Governments.

The City has also shut car parks beach and oceanside from Broadwater Parklands to Coolangatta.

Sand Angels nab world record

Sand Angels nab world record

It’s official! The Gold Coast now holds the World Record for the most people making sand angels simultaneously on a beach.

The City of Gold Coast received official notification this week that the November attempt - where 1624 angels gathered at Kurrawa Beach - was successful.

Mayor Tom Tate said almost $30,000 was raised on the day to support farmers through charity Drought Angels.

"This was a show of Gold Coast community spirit at its very best,” Mayor Tate said.

“It was a truly wonderful morning and I can’t wait until we are able to do another event like this one sometime in the future, once the pandemic is behind us.”

Groundwater Music Festival Director Mark Duckworth said the festival team couldn't be happier to be a part of this world record.

“The beach and the Gold Coast people are such a big part of our festival and we could not be prouder of the result."

Under the banner of We are Gold Coast, the City of Gold Coast joined forces with Groundwater Music Festival to deliver the community event.
