Robina is a master-planned, family-oriented suburb on the central Gold Coast, established in 1985 and built around lakes, parks and a major regional shopping/transport hub. It sits roughly 84 km south-east of the Brisbane CBD and 10 km south-west of Surfers Paradise. It is bordered by Merrimac, Clear Island Waters, Mermaid Waters, Burleigh Waters, Varsity Lakes, Reedy Creek and Mudgeeraba. Robina covers approximately 15.3 km² with extensive parkland, offering an excellent balance of amenity and green space.
The population of Robina in 2021 was approximately 25,659, showing solid growth since 2016. The predominant age group is 20–29 years. Robina is characterised by couples with children and strong owner-occupier appeal. Many residents work in professional roles, and typical mortgage repayments are $1,800–$2,399 per month.
Robina’s lifestyle heart is Robina Town Centre (major regional retail, dining, cinema and services), complemented by lakeside eateries and local precincts along Robina Town Centre Drive and Scottsdale Drive. Events, playgrounds and sports facilities are dotted through the suburb’s extensive park network.
Robina is well connected by heavy rail and motorway: Robina railway station (Gold Coast line) links to Brisbane CBD and Brisbane Airport. There is fast access to the M1/Pacific Motorway; Robina Parkway and Bermuda Street connect across the Coast. Frequent bus services operate from Robina Station and Robina Town Centre to key coastal hubs.
The suburb is home to several quality public and private schools including Robina State School, Robina State High School, Arcadia College, and Australian Industry Trade College. Nearby tertiary options include Bond University (immediately adjacent in the Robina/Varsity Lakes precinct).
Robina offers excellent access to open space, including the Robina City Parklands project (~20 ha), extensive lakeside paths, sporting fields and neighbourhood parks. These provide residents with walking tracks, playgrounds, dog areas and picnic facilities.
Local employment hubs include Robina Hospital & Robina Health Precinct, Robina Town Centre (retail/commercial), Bond University and professional services clusters in the Town Centre precinct. Many residents also commute to the Gold Coast Health & Knowledge Precinct and the broader coastal strip.
Most desirable areas:
Premium pockets in Robina are typically centred around Robina Woods and Robina Waters, where properties enjoy golf-course frontages, lake or park views, and quiet cul-de-sacs. Homes in these areas command some of the suburb’s highest sale prices, particularly larger family residences with direct access to walking trails or waterfront reserves. Demand is also strong for homes close to Bond University, Robina Town Centre, and within catchments for Robina State High School and Varsity College, which are both highly regarded. These areas attract professional families and owner-occupiers seeking lifestyle convenience with easy access to the M1 and the coast.
Less desirable areas:
Some lower-lying parts near Laver Drive, Cheltenham Drive, and Robina Parkway experience higher levels of traffic noise and congestion. Pockets near industrial and commercial zones around Robina Town Centre Drive and the rail corridor may also offer more affordable housing but reduced privacy and amenity. Older townhouse complexes or investment-heavy streets can have greater tenant turnover and may underperform in long-term capital growth relative to detached housing precincts.
Buyers should review Gold Coast City Council flood overlays, particularly along creeks and drainage corridors such as Mudgeeraba Creek, and assess proximity to major arterial roads before purchase.
