The Surrounds
The Surrounds is a master planned sustainable community covering 89 hectares. Located on the former Gold Coast Country Club the development is bordered by Westfield Helensvale and Coombabah Creek. About 30% of the community (30 hectares) is dedicated to green open space, including new parklands and a green buffer that fringes the site. The Surrounds is designed to take advantage of the easy access to the nearby M1, Gold Coast Highway, Helensvale Train Station, and the Gold Coast Light Rail.
