Why Property Investors Are Turning Their Eyes to the Gold Coast (And Why You Should Too)

Why Property Investors Are Turning Their Eyes to the Gold Coast (And Why You Should Too)

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.

Here’s What Makes the Gold Coast Such a Smart Play:

  • A growing Australian city with major infrastructure investment
  • A global tourism magnet with an international airport
  • Home to emerging sporting and events facilities
  • Skyrocketing population growth + sluggish housing supply

Property prices are climbing, and rental yields are following suit. Investors with their ear to the ground (or their mortgage broker on speed dial 👋) are already reaping the rewards.

At Bribie Island Lending, we’re seeing clients from Brisbane to the Sunshine Coast jump on this opportunity — whether they’re buying via their SMSF, a trust, personally, or as part of an investment syndicate.
