Sixth GC2018 CoCom Review

The Commonwealth Games Federation Coordination Commission’s (CoCom) sixth meeting to review the progress of preparations for the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games (GC2018) is under way.

It’s part of a six-monthly review process to assess planning for GC2018 and ensure obligations under the Games’ Host City Contract are being met. 

The review, hosted at the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games Organising Corporation’s (GOLDOC) Headquarters in Ashmore, involves an extensive program of workshops, briefings and meetings covering all aspects of planning and preparations for GC2018, including legacy, security and transport.

Each of the five CoCom reviews to date has endorsed progress and preparations for GC2018, and stated confidence in planning for the Games remaining on track and on budget.

In their last review, the CGF acknowledged a collaborative approach would be a key success factor for the Games.

The Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games Corporation (GOLDOC) continues to work closely with the Queensland Government and all Games partners to ensure it delivers the best Commonwealth Games ever.

With 485 days to go, GC2018 is on time and on budget.

As part of the CoCom review, Transport and Commonwealth Games Minister, Stirling Hinchliffe will hold meetings with the CoCom Chair and CGF Vice-President Bruce Robertson, CGF President Louise Martin CBE, and Chief Executive of the CGF, David Grevemberg CBE.

The sixth CoCom review will conclude on Friday, December 9, 2016.
