GearCity: Travel to the Gold Coast, Queensland and how will it benefit SimulationGC7

Introduction

While researching global opportunities, the Gold Coast was one location I wanted to understand better. This trip offers opportunities to grow GearCity through SimulationGC7 edits. While not a trip that would rely on an airplane or a boat, it is nonetheless a trip.

Purpose

• Research the land.

• See if it is a good fit for adding to the simulation.

• Find an understanding of what parameters are needed.

• How does this help the SimulationGC7 project?

• Is this the only city that will be visited? No, this travel project has landed me in Darwin, Israel, Egypt, and Jerusalem with interesting results for the areas. Upon researching some of them, information seems to be different depending on the source.

• What types of vehicles are being sold in Gold Coast? 

• Seeing what types of people live and work in Gold Coast.

What was interesting during the trip?

• Seeing the Lime electric scooters.

• Seeing the light rail system.

• Seeing the SkyPoint observation deck.
• Price $24

• Learning that it is the fifth-largest city in Australia.
• Learning that there are 378,200 workers in the city.
• Interesting to hear about what professions are in the city.
• Learning that the unemployment rate is at 2.1%.
• The average yearly income for the location is 57,000 to 71,000 AUD, which is $39,119 to $48,727 USD.
• Learning that it was one of the fastest-growing cities in Australia after the pandemic of 2020.
• Learning that January and February are the warmest and June and July the coldest?

Conclusion

• Is this a location for a new factory for auto manufacturing?
• Is this a good location for a new branch office?
• How will this assist sales in Australia?
