The general feeling i've gotten down here is that the Gold Coast council would be very open to talks about returning the Indycars there (certainly not this year though). For the Gold Coast the event was all about attracting overseas visitors & the TV coverage overseas it gave the city, something the local V8Supercars, even with international guest drivers, doesn't do to the same level.
The stumbling block might be the track, it's been cut in half since 2010, and a new rail system getting built likely means major track changes would need to be incorporated (unless Indycar was happy to race on the new shorter layout?)
