Since Monday 7 September 2026, the route 700 bus no longer goes north to Broadbeach South and the route 777 airport bus ends at Stockland Burleigh Heads, so for the rest of the trip you change to the G:link tram at Burleigh Heads. Translink also started a new route 701 and renamed the late night 700 as route 70.
Five bus stop closures on the Gold Coast outside the Gold Coast 500 area are in force or coming up before December, and each has an alternative stop listed by Translink. The longest are in Pimpama, where route 724 stops are affected until Friday 27 November and Gainsborough Drive and Sarabah Way stops are closed until 6 December.
This brief covers five City of Gold Coast road closures that start or are scheduled between 19 and 28 October 2026, including a full closure of Broadbeach Boulevarde between Thursday 22 and Monday 26 October while a developer dismantles a tower crane. The City lists many more closures than these. The full closures keep local access, and most entries are notice windows, not full-time closures.
The City of Gold Coast’s Tallebudgera Creek car park in Palm Beach is free. It has no meters, and it is open 24 hours, but some bays have a maximum stay of 3 hours between 7am and 5pm, Monday to Sunday. The City says spaces fill quickly on weekends and public holidays, so it recommends arriving early. Details on this page are as of October 2026, taken from the City’s car park and park pages.
The City of Gold Coast runs two free car parks in Palm Beach, and both limit your stay to 3 hours on weekdays. The Fifth Avenue & Cypress Terrace car park has a 3-hour limit from 7am to 5pm, Monday to Friday. The Palm Beach Parklands car park has a 3-hour limit from 8am to 4pm, Monday to Friday. Outside those times, the City says parking is unrestricted at both. Details on this page are as of October 2026, taken from the City’s car park pages.
Feast on Fifth, the free street party in Palm Beach, runs from 4pm to 9pm on Saturday 17 October, but Fifth Avenue closes well before that. The road is closed between the Gold Coast Highway and Cypress Terrace from 10am to 11:59pm, and the organisers list car parks as closing earlier, from 9am.
