Keeping Our Waterways Safe for the Community

The City of Gold Coast continues to monitor water quality at 25 of our most popular swimming areas to ensure our beaches, rivers, and lakes remain safe for locals and visitors.

This recreational water quality program provides real-time predictions and alerts, helping residents and tourists make informed decisions about where it’s safe to swim, especially after heavy rainfall.

For our business community, initiatives like this help build confidence in the Gold Coast as a safe and vibrant destination. Clean and healthy waterways are essential not only for public wellbeing, but also for supporting tourism, hospitality, events, and the city’s wider reputation as a lifestyle capital.
