Titans to ditch Coomera plans: report

Gold Coast are reportedly set to dump plans to move to a base in the city's north, less than three months after they were made public.

Gold Coast are reportedly set to dump a proposed move to a purpose-built centre in the city's north, three months after announcing the project.

The Titans and the NRL announced in September the club would be moving to the $7 million complex in Coomera in a partnership with the Gold Coast City Council.

The move was expected to provide the Titans with a more cost effective base after paying high rents on their former offices in Robina.

It was also hoped to give the troubled club a presence in the northern suburbs of the sprawling city.

But a report has claimed the proposed move will be dumped by the club in favour of a move to the Parkwood International Golf Course near Southport.

The Nine Network claims Titans chief executive Graham Annesley spoke to the NRL about the new deal on Tuesday and is hopeful of signing off on the project with the golf club on Wednesday.

It's claimed the multi-million dollar complex will now be built on the golf course lands rather than the council property.

The Titans are currently training at the prestigious Southport School while the team's administration is working from rented space in the Gold Coast City Council's chambers.
