Village Centre North – The Spit Gold Coast

The Spit’s final vacant development opportunity

The Queensland Government commenced a two-stage competitive market process regarding the last vacant development release on The Spit, Village Centre North. Stage one, Expression of Interest, closed in April 2026.

The successful developer will be offered a long-term leasehold interest over the land and adjoining seabed. Announcement of the preferred proponent for this exciting project is eagerly anticipated following the Stage two, detailed design proposal phase.

About the project

The Queensland Government is leading the implementation of The Spit Master Plan. This includes release of strategic development sites identified in the Master Plan.

Village Centre North is The Spit’s last vacant development site. This site release presents a rare opportunity to create a mixed-use tourism precinct on the Gold Coast, one of Australia’s premier tourist destinations.

With the Queensland Government's release of Destination 2045, a  20 year tourism strategy backed by a record $1 billion investment, Queensland is set to redefine the tourism landscape.

This bold commitment will deliver world-class infrastructure, unforgettable visitor experiences and innovative industry training across the state. The Gold Coast is well-positioned to benefit from this transformation.
