Welcome to the Gold Coast
As the Mayor of the Gold Coast, I am honoured to
introduce you to our great city.
It is a place where the ‘have-a-go’ spirit is strong and
people are proud to live; work; study; start and grow a
business; and raise a family.
As we host the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth
GamesTM we are embracing change and dreaming big.
We are taking advantage of our opportunity to shine
on the world stage. The work we’re doing now will
transform the Gold Coast from a city with potential to
a truly world class global centre.
With our enviable natural environment, enviable
tourism infrastructure and modern infrastructure,
we’re growing our reputation as a world class
events city.
I encourage you to find out more about our city and
how we can make your next event a success.
As a relatively young city, the best is yet to come.
Be part of our future.
TOM TATE
MAYOR
CITY OF GOLD COAST

gold CoaSt, auStralia
The Gold Coast is an enviable location for any
production company. The close proximity of a diverse
range of locations, world class Village Roadshow
Studios, along with the high calibre of experienced
crew has drawn production companies from across
the globe to produce feature films, commercials, video
clips and television series here.
Easily accessible
Situated just 45 minutes from Queensland’s capital
Brisbane, and one hour flight north of Sydney, the
Gold Coast provides a myriad of accessible big
screen locations.
Diverse locations
The diverse range of accessible locations allows for
almost any landscape to be replicated within the
region. From emotive city or country scenes, beautiful
beaches and sub-tropical rainforests, a unique blend
of architecture, scenic roads and city locations, the
city offers production companies diversity not available
in most parts of the world - all within 45 minutes of
the studios. Our locations have been used to double
as iconic locations including Miami, Los Angeles and
Hawaii, France, England and the Columbian jungle.
Celebrating 30 years of film
These locations combined with the support of
the studios and experienced crew has attracted a
combined production budget of $1.8 billion from
large-scale US productions including Aquaman, Thor,
Pirates of the Caribbean 5, San Andreas, Unbroken,
Railway Man, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage
of the Dawn Treader, Fool’s Gold, Nim’s Island and
The House of Wax, and television series Terra Nova,
H20 (season 1, 2 and 3) and Mako (season 1 and
2). Australian productions filmed on the Gold Coast
include The Railway Man, Bait 3D and Sanctum 3D.
The Gold Coast remains relatively untapped with
a large majority of accessible locations, both publicly
and privately owned, still undiscovered by the
filming industry.
This book provides a snapshot of locations on the
Gold Coast. For access to Screen Queensland’s

World ClaSS StudioS

area of 14,564m2 (156,731 sq ft). All sound stages
are equipped with current industry standard facilities
including air conditioning, extraction fans, steel grids
and catwalks.
The largest soundstage in Australia, Stage 9, was
completed in 2016 at the Studios. The new stage is
3716 m2 (40,000 sq ft).
Village Roadshow Studios is the only facility in
Australia that has three water tank facilities; one of
them the biggest in the Southern Hemisphere. The
tank can be used for both surface and underwater
sequence. The tank is 40m x 30m (131.24 x 98.43
ft) providing a surface area of 1200 m2 (12,915 sq
ft) with a depth of 7m (23 ft) and a 5m deep (16.4 ft)
outer shelf with two viewing ports. Holding six million
litres of water, the tank has a state-of-the-art filtration
system and a heating system that allows the tank to
be heated to 32º Celsius (89.6º Fahrenheit).
The Studios provide a comprehensive support
network of experienced film service companies
conveniently located on the lot. These companies are
available to provide valuable expertise, experience and
equipment for your production including production
services, casting, camera and lighting, rigging,
special effects, travel, freight, visual effects and post
production facilities.
The Studios recently attracted Pirates of the
Caribbean – Dead Men Tell No Tales, Thor Ragnarok
and Aquaman making Gold Coast and the
Studios the number one place to film for international
and domestic productions.
eXPerienCed CreW
The Gold Coast is home to a large film industry
community. Our Crew are multi skilled, versatile,
efficient and recognised both nationally and
internationally and famous for their ‘can-do’ attitude.
Their expertise has seen many film crew critically
acclaimed receiving both nominations and awards for
their craft. This is something we are very proud of.
We have an enormous depth of crew that include
production designers, cinematographers, costume
designers, special effects supervisors, art directors,
stunt coordinators, unit production managers,
key gaffers, key grips, construction managers,
transport captains, makeup and hair supervisors
and many more.
Queensland, specifically the Gold Coast, covers
a wide variety of formats ranging from television
series, feature films, movies of the week, pilots,
documentaries and more. We also cater to a diverse
range of budgets from big budget feature films to
more conservative budgets for television series.
The result of this versatility in both formats and
budgets speak for themselves. We have crew that
can creatively capture visually appealing scenes using
affordable and efficient techniques.
