The Impact of Infrastructure Developments on Gold Coast Property Values

The Gold Coast continues to evolve as one of Australia’s fastest-growing regions, with large-scale infrastructure developments reshaping the urban landscape. These projects are not only improving liveability and transport but are also having a major impact on property values across the city. From upgraded roads to light rail expansions and sporting venues, infrastructure is a key driver of growth and investment.

Why Infrastructure Matters for Property Values

Infrastructure developments improve connectivity, reduce travel times, and increase the appeal of previously overlooked suburbs. When new transport links or community hubs are introduced, local property values often rise as demand grows.

Buyers are more willing to invest in areas with easy access to public transport, healthcare, education, and retail. For property owners and investors, this translates into higher capital growth and better rental yields.

Key Gold Coast Infrastructure Projects Influencing the Market

Several major infrastructure projects are boosting confidence in the Gold Coast property market:

1. Light Rail (G:link) Stage 3

The extension of the Gold Coast Light Rail from Broadbeach to Burleigh Heads is expected to significantly enhance public transport access in key southern suburbs. This will boost the appeal of areas like Mermaid Beach, Miami, and Burleigh Waters for both residents and investors.

2. M1 Motorway Upgrades

Improvements to the M1 between Varsity Lakes and Tugun will reduce congestion and improve connectivity to Brisbane. This benefits commuters and adds value to suburbs along the corridor.

3. Coomera Connector (Second M1)

The new Coomera Connector is designed to reduce pressure on the M1 and open up new land for development in northern Gold Coast suburbs such as Coomera, Helensvale, and Pimpama. This is expected to unlock growth in affordable housing supply and investment opportunities.

4. Olympic 2032-Related Developments

With the Gold Coast playing a role in the 2032 Brisbane Olympic Games, infrastructure funding is flowing into sports venues, public spaces, and transport upgrades. These investments are likely to attract both domestic and international interest in the region’s real estate.

Suburbs Seeing the Biggest Impact

Property values are already rising in suburbs directly connected to new infrastructure projects. High-growth areas include:

• Coomera and Pimpama – benefiting from new roads, schools, and retail precincts
• Burleigh Heads and Miami – boosted by upcoming light rail access
• Robina and Varsity Lakes – supported by ongoing commercial and residential development

These suburbs are seeing increased buyer demand and rising median prices as infrastructure improves.
