While the Gold Coast is set to host The Commonwealth Games, the neighbouring New Tweed Coast region will still enjoy a tremendous raft of benefits, with number of local Real Estate Agencies already reporting an increase in buyer enquiry on the back of the successful bid announcement.

The latest Coastal development Seaside has experienced a spike in buyer interest, with many prospective purchasers pointing to the anticipated economic and employment boom over the border as a major drawcard.

Reports show the Commonwealth Games will inject $2 million into the economy, create more than 30,000 jobs, bring 120,000 interstate and international visitors and will deliver a $650 million Games Village and a $500 million upgrade to infrastructure, sporting facilities and transport.

Seaside marketing manager Zel Creswick said these purchasers wanted to take advantage of the many opportunities available in the lead up the Commonwealth Games, without necessarily being at the epicentre of the action.

“The Gold Coast will be growing rapidly over the coming years – and those living on the Tweed Coast will very easily be able to make the most of new infrastructure and job opportunities, without the impact of increased local traffic and building activity,” she said.

“It’s really a portfolio-lifestyle decision – residents at Seaside are just 15 minutes south of Coolangatta and the International Airport, so they’re still within easy reach of everything the Gold Coast has to offer.

“The New Tweed Coast offers coastal property at a fraction of the prices seen in many areas across south-east Queensland, so it’s incredibly attractive to purchasers who want to get in on the ground floor of the expected wave of growth in this region.”
