Community involvement
When the community consultation phase of Bold Future concluded in May 2008 an impressive 11,000 responses from the Gold Coast community had been received.
 
The level of participation was outstanding. The input for Bold Future came from a huge cross section of our community - from businesses to families to community groups and sporting clubs.
