The 2018 Commonwealth Games venues are mostly located in the host city of Gold Coast, though some other events require facilities located elsewhere.
One of the key technical aspects of Gold Coast City's successful bid was the fact that the city already has 80 percent of the planned venues in place. 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 that are being held outside of the Gold Coast are track cycling, shooting and the preliminary rounds of Basketball which are being held in Brisbane and Cairns/Townsville respectively.[1]

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.[2][3][4][5][6][7]
The 2018 Commonwealth Games Athletes Village was located on 59 hectares at Southport, Gold Coast.[8] which provided accommodation and services to 6,600 athletes and officials in 1252 permanent dwellings. There are 1170 one and two bedroom apartments and 82 three bedroom townhouses which will serve as student accommodation to the nearby Griffith University. It offered services like laundry, refreshments and television and computer spaces and four residential pools. The village consisted a gym which was designed with guidance from the Australian Institute of Sport and equipment and the equipment were sponsored by Technogym. Adjoining the gym was the Athlete Recovery Area which provided services like plunge baths, including accessible baths, saunas, massage and consults from the Sports Medical personnel. The Main Dining served over 18,000 meals per day to the athletes during the games. The village also consisted of retail shops, Optus phone store, salon, bar and a games room which featured a number of arcade games, pool tables and game consoles.[9]

Central Gold Coast City[edit]
Gold Coast City Convention and Exhibition Centre hosts the Netball as well as being the main media centre for the duration of the games.
The Gold Coast City Convention and Exhibition Centre, located in the suburb of Broadbeach, hosts Basketball, Netball and Weightlifting events. The Broadbeach Bowls Club plays host to the Bowls competition. Carrara Stadium hosts the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the games while also hosting the Athletics events. A new indoor sports venue called the Gold Coast Sports and Leisure Centre (replacing the existing Carrara Indoor Stadium) was constructed close to the athletics warm up track.
The Hinze Dam, located in the suburb of Advancetown, is the location for the Mountain Bike competition. A new course was constructed to meet international competition requirements and temporary spectator seating for 2,000 spectators.
North Gold Coast City[edit]
A new indoor facility in the suburb of Coomera has been built to host Gymnastics and Netball. The existing sound stages of the Village Roadshow Studios complex in the suburb of Oxenford plays host to the sports of Boxing, Table Tennis and Squash. During Games mode the venue has been enhanced to provide for the International Sporting Federation technical venue requirements and provide spectator seating of 3,000 (boxing) and 3,200 (table tennis).
The Gold Coast Hockey Centre plays host to the men's and women's Hockey events during the games. The Southport Broadwater Parklands hosts Swimming and Marathon events.
South Gold Coast City[edit]
Robina Stadium plays host to the Rugby 7s competition and required an upgrade to meet World Rugby standards. The Elanora/Currumbin Valley area hosts the road racing elements of the cycling programme. Both the road race and time trial events start and finish within this area. Queen Elizabeth Park in Coolangatta hosts the beach volleyball event.
Outside venues[edit]
Brisbane[edit]
Anna Meares Velodrome, Brisbane
Brisbane, along with the Gold Coast, forms part of the South East Queensland conurbation. Track Cycling is being held at the Sleeman Sports Complex in the suburb of Chandler, where a new indoor cycling velodrome (Anna Meares Velodrome) was built. The Velodrome seats 4,000 spectators in Games mode and remains as a permanent legacy with reduced seating capacity for the sport of cycling post the Games.
The Shooting disciplines are being held at the Belmont Shooting Centre; this incorporates clay target, pistol, small and full bore disciplines.
North Queensland[edit]
In Tropical North Queensland, the Cairns Convention Centre and Townsville Entertainment Centre plays host to the preliminary rounds of both the men's and women's basketball competitions.
