The Gold Coast Health & Knowledge Precinct is a unique partnership between City of Gold Coast, Griffith University and Gold Coast Health, in conjunction with the Queensland State Government.

We are internationally recognised for transforming lives through healthcare innovation, new knowledge and next-generation technologies.

Governance

Our Precinct governance has been established to provide a collaborative approach to decision-making between partners and a framework for working together at all levels to achieve our vision.

Most importantly, it has been established so that we can work together, in a clear and coordinated way, with those groups that wish to become part of our Precinct.

The Precinct Partnership Group (PPG) comprises CEO level representatives from our four partners – the Department of State Development, Infrastructure, Local Government and Planning (DSDILGP) (represented by Economic Development Queensland); City of Gold Coast; Griffith University and Gold Coast Hospital and Health Service. This group sets our vision and strategy and are ambassadors for our Precinct.

The Strategic Advisory Group (SAG) also comprises representatives of the four partners at a Senior Leadership level to guide implementation of the vision and strategy and provide advice on key initiatives to the PPG. The SAG is a conduit for, and facilitates input from, other government agencies and key stakeholders. It has a curatorial role in assessing, progressing and supporting opportunities.

The Precinct Team comprises a range of experienced people across a variety of specialties from all Precinct partners to identify investment opportunities, progress priority projects, collaborate and develop recommendations for SAG and collectively implement the Precinct’s strategy.

The Precinct Project Office is the ‘front door’ to our Precinct and coordinates activities amongst partners to assist businesses, developers and investors make connections in the Precinct.
