About Highland Park
Highland Park is a residential suburb in the southern Gold Coast, situated within the Gold Coast City local government area approximately 12 kilometres south-west of Surfers Paradise. With a population of 6,576 and a median age of 42, the suburb has a settled, established character that attracts a mix of working and middle-class families. Median household incomes sit at around $1,609 per week, and the predominantly detached housing stock reflects the owner-occupier nature of this inland Gold Coast community.
The suburb offers a quieter alternative to the busy coastal strip, with easy access to Nerang and Mudgeeraba town centres for everyday shopping and services. Nearby Hinze Dam and the natural scenery of the Gold Coast hinterland provide recreational opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts. Public transport connects residents to the broader Gold Coast network, making Highland Park a practical choice for families and commuters who value suburban tranquillity without straying far from the coast.
Highland Park falls under postcode 4211 and is governed by Gold Coast Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Gaven electorate.
