On 7 April 2009, the ABC reported a land exchange deal between Gold Coast City and State of Queensland for Carrara Stadium. According to Mayor Ron Clarke, the land would aid a potential bid for the 2018 Commonwealth Games. The land exchanged would be used as the site of an aquatics centre. In the same article, Mayor Clarke raised the question of the Australian Federal Government 's commitment to a 2018 Commonwealth Games bid in light of the Government 's support for Australia 's 2018 FIFA World Cup Finals bid. On 16 April 2009, Queensland Premier Anna Bligh told reporters that a successful Commonwealth Games bid by Gold Coast City could help the tourist strip win a role in hosting the World Cup. `` Some of the infrastructure that would be built for the Commonwealth Games will be useful for Gold Coast City to get a World Cup game out of the soccer World Cup if we 're successful as a nation, '' she said. However the decision on the venues for the 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cups were made eleven months prior to the bid decision for the 2018 Commonwealth Games, so the potential World Cup venues had already been chosen. On 3 June 2009, Gold Coast City was confirmed as Australia 's exclusive bidder vying for the 2018 Commonwealth Games. `` Should a bid proceed, Gold Coast City will have the exclusive Australian rights to bid as host city for 2018, '' Bligh stated. `` Recently I met with the president and CEO of the Australian Commonwealth Games Association and we agreed to commission a full and comprehensive feasibility study into the potential for the 2018 Commonwealth Games, '' she said. `` Under the stewardship of Queensland Events new chair, Geoff Dixon, that study is now well advanced. '' On 15 March 2010, it was announced that the Queensland Government will provide initial funding of A $11 million for the 2018 Commonwealth Games bid. The Premier of Queensland has indicated the Government 's support for the bid to the Australian Commonwealth Games Association. On 31 March 2010, the Australian Commonwealth Games Association officially launched the bid to host the 2018 Commonwealth Games. In October 2011, Gold Coast City Mayor Ron Clarke stated that the games would provide a strong legacy for the city after the games have ended. On 31 March 2010, a surprise bid was made for the 2018 Commonwealth Games by the Sri Lankan city of Hambantota. Hambantota was devastated by the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, and is undergoing a major face lift. The first phase of the Port of Hambantota is nearing completion and it is funded by the government of China. The Mattala International Airport, which is the second international Airport of Sri Lanka is built close to Hambantota. A new Hambantota International Cricket Stadium had also been built, which had hosted matches in the 2011 Cricket World Cup. On 10 November 2011, the Hambantota bidders claimed they had already secured enough votes to win the hosting rights. However, on 11 November it was officially announced Gold Coast City had won the rights to host the games. 2018 Commonwealth Games bidding results City Country Votes Gold Coast City Australia 43 Hambantota Sri Lanka 27 Administration In February 2012, Mark Peters was appointed Chief Executive Officer of the Gold Coast City 2018 Commonwealth Games Corporation. The Queensland Government Minister tasked with overseeing the Games is Kate Jones. Preparation Venues Main article : Venues of the 2018 Commonwealth Games Concept image for Carrara Stadium and Carrara Sport and Leisure Centre One of the key technical aspects of Gold Coast City 's successful bid was the fact that the city had 80 percent of the planned venues in place before the bidding deadline. The vast majority of venues are located within 20 - minutes driving time of the Athletes Village in Parkwood and are broadly grouped into three areas ; Central Gold Coast City, North Gold Coast City and South Gold Coast City. The only sports being held outside of Gold Coast City are track cycling and the preliminary rounds of Basketball which is being held in Brisbane and Cairns or Townsville respectively, along with the shooting which is being held in neighbouring Belmont. Athletes Village 2018 Commonwealth Games Village The 2018 Commonwealth Games Athletes Village provides accommodation and services to 6600 athletes and officials in a purpose built 1252 permanent dwellings : 1170 one and two bedroom apartments and 82 three bedroom townhouses at Southport, Gold Coast. Transport The Gold Coast light rail system, connects directly a number of the key games venues including the Gold Coast City Aquatic Centre, Broadwater Parklands and the Gold Coast Convention & Exhibition Centre with the major accommodation centres of Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach and the Athletes Village at Parklands.

The extension opened in December 2017, in time for the games. Participating teams There are 71 nations competing at 2018 Commonwealth Games.
