Smith Collective
Master Plan
The Smith Collective is a landmark precinct and represents Queensland’s largest multi-residential master planned project ever undertaken in a single stage.
The 7.1ha site began as Parklands – the official Athletes Village for the 2018 Commonwealth Games – and transitioned to the build-to-rent scheme now known as the Smith Collective, housing approximately 2500 residents.
The joint venture between Arkhefield + ARM + Archipelago (AAA) brought together hinterland and coastline design in a uniquely Gold Coast offering to deliver 1250 dwellings, consisting of 3 bedroom town homes and 1 and 2 bedroom apartments as part of a modern, vibrant, mixed-use development.
The master plan organises itself around a main street connecting Parklands Drive, Hospital Boulevard, the Village Heart and a central park. The residences, which are architecturally designed to capture the essence of the subtropical climate emblematic of the Gold Coast, are positioned around this structure.
The site has transformed into a new mixed-use neighbourhood. It includes a residential community, a business hub for health and knowledge, as well as a commercial and retail development - all integrated with the adjacent Gold Coast Health and Knowledge Precinct.
