“Premier Gold Coast Development Site: 1,120 m² MDR-Zoned Allotment with Dual Street Access in Growth Corridor”

Large 1,120 m² flat allotment zoned Medium Density Residential (MDR) with dual street access, only metres from Pimpama City Shopping Centre.
Neighbouring site at 42 Pimpama Jacobs Well Road has been marketed for 26 apartments, confirming strong multi-unit potential in this emerging corridor.
Live-in or lease now while securing a future redevelopment site in one of Australia’s fastest-growing areas.

• Expansive 1,120 m² flat block with dual street frontage — excellent access and design flexibility.
• Zoned Medium Density Residential (MDR) — supports townhouses, duplexes or apartments (subject to council approval).
• Existing 3-bed, 1-bath residence + council-approved studio building (bed/lounge/kitchenette) provides immediate use or holding income.
• Positioned in the Northern Gold Coast Growth Corridor, surrounded by infrastructure investment and active developer acquisitions.
• Strong precedent nearby: 42 Pimpama Jacobs Well Road (851 m²) marketed for a 26-unit, multi-level project — validates market appetite for high-density outcomes.
• Only ~150 m to Pimpama City Shopping Centre (Coles, Aldi + 49 stores), minutes to schools, rail and the under-construction Coomera Connector (M9).

Development & Investment Potential

• Zoning: Medium Density Residential (MDR) under the City of Gold Coast Planning Scheme. This zoning supports a mix of townhouses, small-lot housing, duplexes, and multi-unit dwellings, subject to development approval.
• Site Scale: At 1,120 m² — around 32% larger than the neighbouring 851 m² site — this parcel offers increased development flexibility, yield and easier vehicle movement due to dual access.
• Precedent:🔗 42 Pimpama Jacobs Well Road has been publicly marketed for a 26-apartment project (in planning stage). While formal DA approval for height and unit count remains unconfirmed, it signals strong council and market appetite for higher-density infill in this exact location.
• Holding Strategy: Live in, lease out or land-bank — the existing improvements allow for immediate occupancy and income while your town-planner prepares a concept scheme.
• Exit Options:
  • Lodge your own DA and on-sell with approval.
  • Partner with a builder/developer.
  • Self-develop a multi-townhouse or small apartment project.

Location Highlights & Infrastructure

• Retail: Pimpama City Shopping Centre (Coles, Aldi + 49 specialty stores) ~150 m walk.
• Education: Pimpama State School (Prep–6), Pimpama State Secondary College (7–12), King’s Christian College – Pimpama Campus (Early Learning–12).
• Transport: Upcoming Pimpama Rail Station + direct access to the M1 Motorway and new Coomera Connector (M9) corridor.
• Travel times: ~40 min to Brisbane CBD | ~20 min to Gold Coast Beaches | ~10 min to major amenity hubs in Upper Coomera and Ormeau.

Market Insights

• Median house price: ~$900,000 (Pimpama, 12-month median to Oct 2025).
• Population growth: ~162% increase from 2016–2021 — one of Australia’s fastest.
• Rental yield: ~4.2–4.5%.
• Vacancy rate: ~1.6% across the northern Gold Coast corridor.
• Infrastructure investment: Billions committed across the M1 upgrade, Coomera Connector, new Pimpama Train Station and education facilities.
• Together, these fundamentals underpin Pimpama’s reputation as the Gold Coast’s most active development precinct.

What Developers Need to Know

• Servicing: Currently on septic and rainwater — not yet connected to town water/sewer. Redevelopment will require upgraded connections and service infrastructure.
• Planning: All new multi-unit or townhouse development requires a Development Application to the City of Gold Coast. Each site is assessed on height, setbacks, car parking and access.
• Overlays: Town-planner to verify any flood or bushfire overlays specific to this precinct before DA submission.
• Precedent Use: 42 Pimpama’s proposed 26-unit scheme is a valuable density indicator but not a guarantee of the same yield. Your own scheme should be modelled on council parameters and servicing capacity.

Development & Infrastructure Pipeline

• Coomera Connector (M9): Under construction; a new motorway linking Coomera to Nerang — a major value driver for northern Gold Coast sites.
• Pimpama Train Station: New station on the Gold Coast Line improving access to Brisbane and the coast.
• Local Services Upgrades: City of Gold Coast infrastructure planning documents show ongoing water and road capacity works along Pimpama Jacobs Well Road through 2030.

Cost of Living & Local Lifestyle

• Median weekly rent for new 3-bed homes: $700–$750.
• Council rates typically $2,000–$2,500 p.a.
• Utilities (once connected): water ~$250/qtr, electricity ~$350/qtr.
• Family-friendly lifestyle mix: schools, sports fields, cafés, major shopping within walking distance. Appeals strongly to young professionals and families migrating from Brisbane.
