Vacant Land Waterfront Precinct
855m² River View Block | Coomera Shores
16 Waddiwong Road, Coomera QLD 4209
Feature Summary
This is a land-first opportunity in one of the northern Gold Coast’s most tightly held river precincts. The 855m² Coomera Shores block sits in an established estate where turnover is genuinely limited, commanding water views across the Coomera River and positioned a short walk from the estate’s community boat ramp and jetty.
The existing dwelling carries major defects and is best considered for demolition. The value here is in the parcel itself — its size, its outlook, and the freedom it offers a buyer to design and build to maximise the water views and the Coomera River and Sanctuary Cove boating corridor beyond. Tank water and bio-cycle sewerage apply within the estate.

- Walk to the estate’s community boat ramp and jetty
- Tank water and bio-cycle sewerage within the estate
Finishing Touches

- Boating, fishing and waterway lifestyle appeal from the doorstep
- Rare large-format land parcel in an established, low-turnover river pocket
- Long-term owner-builder or land-bank holding potential
Living in Coomera
Coomera Shores is a private riverside estate on the Coomera River, sitting opposite the broader Sanctuary Cove boating corridor and within a short drive of one of the Gold Coast’s major retail and transport hubs.
Westfield Coomera at 103 Foxwell Road is the anchor for the precinct — a $470 million regional centre spanning approximately 58,000 square metres with more than 155 specialty stores, Event Cinemas, a dining and entertainment precinct, Coles, Woolworths, Kmart, Target and JB Hi-Fi, all positioned next to Coomera Station and less than 500 metres from the Pacific Motorway (M1). Costco also operates a large-format warehouse in the Coomera precinct, adding a further major retail and fuel anchor to the immediate catchment.
The marine side of the corridor is equally compelling. The Gold Coast Marine Precinct — home to The Boat Works, a 55-acre superyacht and boatyard facility on the Coomera River — is one of the largest marine precincts in the Southern Hemisphere. TAFE Queensland operates a dedicated Marine Centre of Excellence adjacent to the precinct, supporting apprenticeship and training pathways across the marine trades. Riviera Australia and other major boat manufacturers are also based in the wider Coomera marine cluster.
Infrastructure investment in the broader corridor is substantial. The Coomera Connector (M9) — a 45-kilometre north-south motorway running parallel to the M1 — is underway, with Stage 1 North between Shipper Drive and Helensvale Road already open to traffic as of December 2025. Construction continues on Stage 1 Central and South. The new Coomera Hospital at George Alexander Way is also progressing, with construction set to ramp up in the second half of 2026 and 600-bed capacity planned by 2031.

Why You’ll Love This Property
Opportunities like this one are defined by what cannot easily be replicated: a substantial 855m² parcel inside a tightly held riverside estate, water views across the Coomera River, and a walk-to-boat-ramp lifestyle that puts the Gold Coast waterways within reach at a moment’s notice.
For a buyer with a clear vision for a new build, the site delivers the kind of starting point that is genuinely difficult to find in this corridor — an established estate, a meaningful land size, an elevated outlook toward Sanctuary Cove, and a position that connects to major retail, rail, marine industry and corridor infrastructure in one of the Gold Coast’s fastest-growing northern precincts.
The land-value nature of the sale means a buyer steps in with full flexibility to shape what comes next. The dwelling is best removed. The future belongs to the block.

Lifestyle and Convenience
This is not simply a block with a river view. Coomera Shores sits at a point in the northern Gold Coast where waterway lifestyle, major retail, rail access, marine industry, and long-term infrastructure investment all converge.
The estate’s community boat ramp puts the Coomera River within walking reach. Westfield Coomera and Coomera Station anchor the retail and transport hub a short drive away, and the M1 is accessible in minutes from that precinct. For buyers who want to use the water rather than simply look at it, this corridor offers practical access to the Coomera River, the Sanctuary Cove boating environment and the Gold Coast waterways system.
