This initiative will invite the world’s leading multi-disciplinary design teams to participate in a two-stage competition, to be launched in March 2013 by Gold Coast City Council. Their challenge will be to create compelling design concepts that reflect the Gold Coast's quintessential character while demonstrating worlds best practice in landscape, urban and architectural design. Registration begins in March.
Up to three teams will be shortlisted and paid $250,000 each to embark on detailed concept design in response to a design brief. The ‘prize’ for the winner of the design competition is a contract to deliver subsequent design services towards the realisation of the Gold Coast Cultural Precinct.
