Location: Carrara Stadium Precinct
Year Completed: 2017-2018
The 2018 Commonwealth Games may have finished but it has left a lasting infrastructure legacy for the Gold Coast community. It was a privilege as a locally founded company to have been involved in many of the temporary, upgraded and newly built venues that played such a pivotal role for the event.
