Arrival

Gold Coast Cycle Centre is located on Hope Street in Nerang. The arrival area has a concrete ramp that leads to two paths: one towards the grandstand and another to the main building entrance. The ramp is bordered by concrete walls and fitted with metal handrails and tactile paving for navigation and support.

The surface is smooth, with some areas becoming uneven or slippery when wet. The space is surrounded by greenery, including palm trees. Visitors are typically moving between the carpark and the venue entrances. The layout supports easier navigation with defined paths and clear signage.
