The new traffic area will have a three-hour on-street parking limit on weekdays from 9am to 5pm to keep local streets accessible.
These measures will prevent residential streets from becoming all-day commuter parking areas while giving residents continued access to on-street parking.
Eligible residents will be able to apply for a Resident Parking Permit to exempt them from the new three-hour time limit being implemented from 14 September.
"This new Traffic Area will protect the amenity of residents who live within 400 metres of GCLR3," said Gold Coast Acting Mayor Mark Hammel.
"This is crucial to reduce traffic congestion and it will improve access to car parking by increasing parking turnover in these popular beachside locations.
"We are expecting an increase in activity around this area and we want to ensure the local residents, businesses, their customers and visitors have available parking.
"Commuters are encouraged to use alternative forms of travel to the area when using light rail."
The three-hour parking limit will not apply on weekends or public holidays.
