A planned metro-style service running every 10 minutes connecting Robina, Burleigh Heads, the Gold Coast Airport and Coolangatta, targeted for delivery before the 2032 Games.

Centro Burleigh Heads 14-unit industrial complex at 1-14/3 Fremantle Street achieved 6 pre-sales across 99-193 sqm units before construction. Completion expected Q3 2026. High-quality architecturally designed units with dual driveway, high-clearance ceilings. Strong pre-sale velocity (42% sold pre-construction) in industrial sector indicates tightness of supply and investor appetite for Burleigh commercial hub. Positioning as lifestyle-integrated business corridor strengthens long-term value.
Material change of use approval for showroom, food/drink, office and indoor sport/recreation indicates Burleigh Heads is attracting mixed-use commercial investment. Indoor sport facilities (likely gym) signal young, affluent demographic typical of premium Gold Coast suburbs. Multi-use approval suggests developer confidence in localised demand across retail, hospitality and fitness sectors.

Burleigh Heads sits on this corridor. Two independent university studies tracked property values near light rail stations from 1996 to 2016. Here's what actually happened — not a projection, a record.
This is historical research on the Gold Coast's existing light rail (Stages 1–2) — not a guarantee any future project repeats it. We show it because it's the most rigorously documented Gold Coast precedent for how transit signals have actually played out here, and it's why AusProp surfaces planning and funding signals rather than waiting for ribbon-cuttings.
