Community Development

As the peak multicultural body of the Gold Coast, Multicultural Communities Council Gold Coast Ltd. has an extensive network of the different culturally and linguistically diverse communities represented within the Region and surrounds.

MCCGC believes in everyone having a sense of belonging and connection. MCCGC continues to facilitate these multicultural community network consultations that serves many purposes. A great way to network and introduce new and emerging communities, opportunities to network with more established communities and services, identify issues that are affecting multicultural communities and access to keynote speakers from a diverse range of backgrounds on the Gold Coast. Seated together, sharing experiences and stories over a sumptuous meal.

Some Resources for the Community

Toolkit for Multicultural Communities

We are excited to present the MCCGC Community Toolkit, thoughtfully developed for community leaders as part of the Gold Coast Multicultural Network initiative. This booklet is the result of collaborative discussions with our diverse attendees, including both community members and service providers, to identify practical tools and strategies that empower our communities. Our aim is to provide you with clear guidance and practical resources to assist you in fostering stronger, more connected, and resilient communities.

As community leaders, your influence and dedication are essential to building inclusive environments where everyone can thrive. We invite you to use this toolkit not only as a source of information, but as a springboard for action, dialogue, and continued learning. Together, we can strengthen our networks, support each other, and create lasting positive change across the Gold Coast and beyond.
