A the cutting-edge hub at the forefront of the Gold Coast’s disaster preparedness – the Gold Coast Disaster & Emergency Management Centre. This state-of-the-art facility serves as the nerve centre for emergency response across the city, designed to withstand even the most severe natural disasters, including category 5 tropical cyclones.

Built with resilience in mind, the centre is equipped with the latest smart technology and can operate independently for up to 10 days if critical infrastructure were to fail. This robust functionality ensures that in times of crisis, essential services and disaster response operations can continue seamlessly, safeguarding the community during its most vulnerable moments.

With a capacity to house over 100 emergency personnel, the centre provides a dedicated space for key agencies to collaborate, coordinate, and respond to disasters in real-time. It serves as a central hub where emergency teams, government bodies, and vital community services can come together to manage and mitigate the impacts of severe weather, floods, fires, and other disaster and emergency events requiring a coordinated response.

At the heart of the city’s disaster management strategy, the Gold Coast Disaster & Emergency Management Centre stands as a testament to the city’s commitment to safety, resilience, and innovation. As we face an increasingly unpredictable climate, this facility plays a critical role in ensuring the Gold Coast is always ready to respond swiftly and effectively.
