Food and Beverage

In recent years the Gold Coast has been recognised for the diversity and quality of its food and beverage products on offer. Producers have taken advantage of this increased interest by developing quality export ready goods for national and international consumption. Gold Coast restaurants are also using these local foods, blending and creating distinctive new flavours and experiences.

As Gold Coast City grows, the food industry is positioning itself to manage the impact of future demand, particularly in the realm of production, workforce, education and training.

Gold Coast City Council supports the food industry with access to industry associations, specialist business development experts, suppliers of food and drink core ingredients, preparation and packaging materials.

Business GC - growing your food enterprise

Gold Coast City Council provides contacts, including individuals and industry organisations. Local, State and Federal Government provide support for export and national and regional initiatives.

It works with key players to encourage growth in the food and wine industry, including the Gold Coast Growers and Producers (GC GAP), and Dept of Primary Industries. Export development is facilitated by our own Austrade officer.

Annual events such as A la Carte in the Park and the two week Tastes of Gold Coast festival are city-wide attractions, celebrating the food and wine industries in the Gold Coast and its Hinterland.
