Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games
Temporary Infrastructure Partner for One of Australia’s Largest Ever Events
Moreton Hire was proudly appointed by the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) and the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games Corporation (GOLDOC) as the official supplier of marquees, temporary structures and HVAC for the Games. Tasked with delivering overlay infrastructure across key venues in the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Townsville, and Cairns, Moreton Hire helped accommodate the 650,000+ visitors drawn to Australia’s largest event since the Sydney Olympics.
With only eight months to deliver, our team provided end-to-end project management — supplying temporary structures, HVAC, and event equipment to support a wide range of venue requirements, from athlete logistics to media centres and crowd control. The result was a seamless and scalable delivery across multiple sites, reinforcing Moreton Hire’s capability as a trusted overlay provider for major events on a national scale.
Over 100, 000 Visitors
500+ marquees

With hundreds of thousands of attendees — including members of the British Royal Family — the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games required secure, high-quality infrastructure delivered with precision. Moreton Hire was engaged to provide temporary venues across Queensland, delivering engineered structures that were fully certified, safety-checked, and tailored to meet the demands of this major international event.
From custom signage and branded façades for sponsors to complete furniture fit-outs, our team ensured every space was functional, polished, and event-ready. This project reflects Moreton Hire’s capability to deliver large-scale overlay solutions with speed, safety, and professionalism.
