Gold Coast Chinatown is evolving. The recent streetscape works create a vibrant place for the precinct to grow.
Chinatown is alive with Asian inspired lanterns, lighting and public art. Three Paifangs will welcome people to Chinatown and represent a gateway between the Gold Coast and China.
The improvements to Chinatown have already started to encourage globally competitive businesses to re-locate to Southport with many of these being of Asian influence. As the area grows, it is expected more businesses will move into this upcoming precinct.
Gold Coast Chinatown is home to more than 75 businesses including food (boasting a range of cuisines); beverage; entertainment; retail and giftware as well as speciality groceries. As an existing Chinatown Business we welcome you to have a look at the resources available to Chinatown Traders.
