Talk:Gold Coast central business district

Before anyone puts this article up for deletion, it isn't finished and the distinction between the suburb of Southport and the CBD area is one that I think has not been made. Yes, the CBD is inside the suburb of Southport but it doesn't encompass the whole area of the suburb. It's only a small area of the suburb and I feel it deserves its own article, like other CBDs in Australia. There is plenty of history associated with the area and I think, with some help from other editors, this article could become very interesting and unlike the umbrella that is the Southport, Queensland article.

infobox - neighbours not needed
As the Gold Coast CBD isn't formally bounded, I am not sure it is meaningful to have "neighbours" in the infobox. I realise that Brisbane CBD does have neighbours in its infobox, but that article is (rightly or wrongly) a combination of the suburb of Brisbane City and the central business district and, being a suburb, does have boundaries and hence neighbours. Personally I think the Brisbane CBD article should be teased apart from two articles as the Brisbane CBD area extends well beyond the boundaries of the suburb of Brisbane City, but that's a separate discussion! However, as Southport and Gold Coast CBD do have separate articles, it only really makes sense for Southport to have neighbouring suburbs in its infobox. Kerry (talk) 23:40, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
