Gold Coast History
 

In 1923 a Brisbane developer built the Surfers Paradise Hotel and with the construction of a bridge across the Nerang River in 1925 carloads of Brisbane people started to come and enjoy the wonderful beaches on the Gold Coast. During the 1950’s massive development began and land prices soared proving much cash to the developers which gave us the name Gold Coast.

The Gold Coast lived up to its name and canals were dredged, apartments built, casino constructed and massive urban development. Today the development continues with the recently completed enormous convention centre and the world’s highest apartment block.

Gold Coast holidays now are the major driver of the economy and visitors come from all over the world to enjoy wonderful holidays on the Gold Coast.
