About Coomera

Coomera is the major residential hub of the northern Gold Coast, home to over 20,000 residents strategically located between Brisbane and Surfers Paradise. The heavy rail station provides access to both cities, while the new Westfield Coomera has transformed local retail. The suburb includes both older established areas and expanding new estates.

Family life dominates—theme parks, waterways, and new estates create a lifestyle-focused community. The new town centre development aims to create a genuine urban heart for the northern corridor. Coomera attracts families seeking Gold Coast living with Brisbane accessibility, offering modern homes, waterside options, and entertainment at the doorstep.

Coomera falls under postcode 4209 and is governed by Gold Coast Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Coomera electorate.
