Gold Coast Open House 2026
A free weekend opening buildings and spaces across the Gold Coast that are normally closed to the public, from dams and research labs to private homes
Location: Various locations, Gold Coast
Date: 10 October 2026 to 11 October 2026
Gold Coast Open House 2026 takes place on 10 and 11 October 2026, offering free access to buildings and spaces across the city that are normally closed to the public. The weekend is run by Gold Coast Open House and covers sites right across the Gold Coast.
This year’s programme combines major public infrastructure with a selection of private homes, including dams, research labs and residential projects. The mix is intended to show the quality of design on the Gold Coast and the people shaping its built environment.
For architects and designers, the weekend is a chance to see inside projects that rarely open their doors and to compare how different practices are responding to the subtropical climate. Full programme details and any bookings are available through the Gold Coast Open House website.
