Over the next 25 years, the Gold Coast is tipped to gain a whopping 400,000 new residents. That’s straight from the Queensland Government Statisticians Office, and it works out to around 16,000 people per year calling the coast home.
Now consider this: according to the ABS, the average household on the Gold Coast has 2.5 people. That means we’ll need about 6,400 new homes built every year just to keep up.
How many did the Gold Coast Council approve for 2024–25?
Only 2,057 dwellings. Yep, you read that right.
That’s a massive gap.
And gaps like this? They’re golden for smart property investors.
