About Tallebudgera Valley
Tallebudgera Valley is a sprawling hinterland locality in the Gold Coast's southwestern reaches, covering over 60 square kilometres of mountainous terrain along the Queensland-New South Wales border. With a population of around 1,760, this is acreage country—large properties nestled among rainforest-clad hills rising to 800 metres, with Springbrook National Park protecting the southern highlands. The valley offers a dramatic contrast to the coastal strip just 20 kilometres to the east.
Life here is defined by space, nature, and the pursuit of rural tranquility within reach of the coast. Properties typically sit on several acres, attracting families and tree-changers who value privacy, horse paddocks, and mountain views over urban convenience. Ingleside State School serves local families, while Burleigh Heads and Elanora provide shopping and services. The area draws an established, predominantly Australian-born demographic—professionals and families who've chosen acreage living over apartment towers, accepting the trade-off of distance for lifestyle.
Tallebudgera Valley falls under postcode 4228 and is governed by Gold Coast Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Currumbin electorate.
