Games logo The Gold Coast is proud to be Fosters Bid partner for the Pan Pacific Summer and Para Games 2018. The Gold Coast is the sunshine capital of Foster and is full of life. Great facilities are across the whole city with many world athletes coming to the Gold Coast to live and train. The Olympic Village will be suited right next to the main stadium at Carrara where the hub of the games will be. Environmental plans are in place to ensure the environmentalism of the games is a priority. World class hotels and casinos is in the mains trip in the CBD, Fossies Place. The Gold Coast hosted a successful 2018 Commonwealth Games along with many other International Sporting events. Security in this event ensured that no one was injured. With much of the venues and facilities already built the cost of hosting the games would be low. The legacy would be continued for generations as the facilities would continue to be used along with many great plans from the games.
