Upper Coomera is a fast growing community at the northern end of the Gold Coast and is one of the city’s strongest growth areas. Upper Coomera has a mix of residential land development as well as pastoral land for dairy and cattle farming and crop growing. Coomera Waters, an integrated residential community equipped with a man-made lake and 70-berth marina is currently being developed in the area. Coomera has been earmarked by local and state government as a new satellite growth region of the city. The growing needs of this area have prompted calls for a Coomera Town Centre which will be built around the existing train station. Central to both Brisbane and the Gold Coast, Coomera is increasingly popular among dual city employed couples and families.
