Overview

Burleigh Waters is a Gold Coast suburb of 14,556 residents (2021 Census) that blends modern canal‑front living with easy access to The Broadwater and the Pacific Ocean. Five purpose‑built lakes – Heron, Miami, Swan, Pelican and Burleigh – weave through the community, while a foot‑and‑cycle bridge links Dunlin Drive Link Park to Burleigh Lake Park for active recreation. The tidal canal system offers a unique water‑based transport option, though homes alongside the canals can be prone to flooding in heavy rains.

The suburb is anchored by two large shopping centres and a range of family‑focused amenities: Caningeraba State School, Marymount Primary School and Marymount College serve local students, the Gold Coast City Council library sits at Christine Avenue and Galeen Drive, and the Burleigh Town Post Office operates within the Stockland Burleigh Heads precinct. Nearby government secondary schools in Miami and Varsity Lakes provide additional education choices, while Mary Mother of Mercy Catholic Church adds a community hub. The housing mix reflects its history of canal estates from the 1950s onward, complemented by privately built homes that continue to expand the neighbourhood.
