About Tallebudgera
Tallebudgera is a relaxed hinterland suburb on the southern Gold Coast, situated within the Gold Coast City Council area approximately 15 kilometres south of Surfers Paradise. With a population of 3,826, the suburb has grown steadily from 3,667 in 2016 and draws predominantly Anglo-Australian families and established residents seeking space away from the coastal strip. The median household income of $2,372 per week sits above national averages, and housing is characterised by larger residential blocks, acreage properties, and low-density housing typical of the Gold Coast hinterland fringe.
Tallebudgera is best known for the picturesque Tallebudgera Creek, a popular spot for swimming, kayaking, and picnicking that attracts both locals and visitors during summer. The suburb has a semi-rural character with bushland reserves, and residents are well-placed to access the beach precincts of Palm Beach and Currumbin just a short drive east. Essential shopping and services are found in nearby Elanora and Robina, while families appreciate the selection of both government and independent schools available in the broader Gold Coast south area.
Tallebudgera falls under postcode 4228 and is governed by Gold Coast Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Currumbin electorate.
