Monster Machinery Day

Does your little one wheely love everything that digs, scoops and beeps? Then head on down to Monster Machinery Day!

Spread across an entire kilometre of the Broadwater Parklands’ Great and Southern Lawns, the event gives locals a chance to experience the machinery transforming and maintaining the Gold Coast.

There’ll be free activities on offer including live machinery demonstrations (think woodchipper), a rock-climbing wall, train rides and the all-time favourite for toddlers, the huge sand pit!

Meet the hard-working heroes from our emergency services and volunteers dedicated to keeping the community safe, at the Disaster and Emergency Management Pop-Up. Get up close with emergency services vehicles and learn what to do when you are faced with severe weather and disasters.

And let’s not forget your favourite trucks – the delicious food trucks.

Ride the G to Broadwater Parklands, hop on the HOPO Ferry or make your journey active and walk, ride, scoot or skate to the event.

If driving your car is a must, consider carpooling. Make sure to park legally to avoid an infringement.

Monster Machinery Day is produced by City of Gold Coast and supported by Councillor Brooke Patterson and 102.9 Hot Tomato.
