Pimpama is a northern Gold Coast suburb located approximately 29 kilometres north of Surfers Paradise and positioned directly along the Pacific Motorway (M1). Historically a rural farming district, Pimpama has undergone significant transformation over the past two decades and is now one of South East Queensland’s largest master-planned residential growth corridors.
The suburb is characterised by modern housing estates, expanding retail and education infrastructure, and strong connectivity to both Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Pimpama attracts families, first-home buyers, and investors seeking newer housing stock and relative affordability compared with established coastal suburbs.
Pimpama has a predominantly young, family-oriented demographic profile. The dominant age group is 30–39 years, with a high proportion of households comprising couples with children.
Employment is diverse, with residents working across professional services, trades, construction, retail, education, and community services, reflecting both the suburb’s growth phase and commuter-based workforce.
Pimpama is serviced by several modern retail precincts, most notably Pimpama City Shopping Centre, which provides supermarkets, specialty retail, dining options, and essential services.
Pimpama has strong transport connectivity via direct access to the Pacific Motorway (M1), providing efficient travel to Brisbane and the broader Gold Coast.
Public transport access improved significantly with the opening of Pimpama Railway Station in October 2025. Located on the Gold Coast rail line along the Old Pacific Highway, the station provides direct rail services north to Brisbane and south to the Gold Coast, with integration into the broader Cross River Rail network.
The station includes park-and-ride facilities, pedestrian overpass access with lifts, bicycle storage, and upgraded bus connections, strengthening commuter accessibility and supporting long-term demand for the suburb.
Pimpama offers a wide range of education options including Pimpama State School, Pimpama State Primary College, Pimpama State Secondary College, Gainsborough State School, and King’s Christian College.
Pimpama includes numerous parks, sporting facilities, and green corridors including the Pimpama Sports Hub.
Local employment centres around retail, education, construction and service industries with commuting to Brisbane and the broader Gold Coast.
Most desirable areas include established master-planned estates with mature landscaping and proximity to schools and parks.
Less desirable areas include properties near the Pacific Motorway or high-density clusters.
