The Gold Coast Titans will soon have a shiny new building to call home.
The NRL club has secured a site at the Emerald Lakes Parklands in Carrara to build a brand-new high-performance sports facility.
The Titans have been on the hunt for a new home for a while, with their Parkwood HQ set to be transformed into a multi-million-dollar golf and surf village.
The club has also outgrown the site, having expanded into women’s rugby league and netball.
Titans CEO Steve Mitchell said securing the Lakeside Drive site is “vitally important for the long-term future of the club”.
“One of our strategic pillars and priority areas for us as a club that we articulated in our 2030 roadmap was the development of a world-class high-performance facility,” he said.
“The Titans represent the largest and fastest growing sports in our region and as a result, we’ve outgrown our current home at Parkwood.
“The Emerald Lakes Parklands site will become the new home of our NRL, NRLW and netball programs and will also house our industry leading community programs that make a difference to the lives of our local residents”.
The club was informed on Wednesday by City of Gold Coast that they had been successful in their tender for the Carrara site.
“City of Gold Coast have a vision to make our region the epicentre of sports in the South Pacific and we think this facility will be a game-changer in positioning our region as a high-performance destination particularly in the lead up to the 2032 Olympic Games,” Mr Mitchell said.
“We are unique as a club in that we have both field and court sports as well as male, female, junior and inclusion programs and our future home will reflect the diversity of the programs and community we represent.
“I want to thank City of Gold Coast and Invest Gold Coast, this announcement today will ensure we represent this population for decades to come, ensuring there is a community hub that allows the club to develop and deliver programs from grassroots to the elite level.”
