What's On

Monster Machinery Day

Dust off your hard hats and make a day of it as you imagine yourself as a landscaper, lifeguard, beach cleaner, construction worker or dune protector!

Get ready to have truckloads of fun at City of Gold Coast’s Monster Machinery Day – where the toys are life-size.

Spread across an entire kilometre of the Broadwater Parklands’ Great and Southern Lawns, the event gives locals a chance to experience the machinery transforming and maintaining the Gold Coast.

There’ll be free activities on offer including live machinery demonstrations (think woodchipper), a rock-climbing wall, train rides and the all-time favourite for toddlers, the huge sand pit!

Meet the hard-working heroes from our emergency services and volunteers dedicated to keeping the community safe, at the Disaster and Emergency Management Pop-Up. Get up close with emergency services vehicles and learn what to do when you are faced with severe weather and disasters.

And let’s not forget your favourite trucks – the delicious food trucks.
