Pacific PinesGold Coast Suburb Profile

Ideally situated at the top of the Gold Coast, Pacific Pines can brag a short drive to the beach strip, all the major theme parks while only being a short 40 minute drive from Brisbane. It’s a fast growing residential area on the west side of the Pacific Highway offering plenty of park and recreational areas with views of Stradbroke Island from the more elevated parts of the suburb.

Somewhat detached from Surfers Paradise the area is a popular area for families looking to own their own home with many house and land packages still on offer. With the area still growing now is the time to make a move before all the best locations are gone.

History

Originally a Pine plantation in the locality of Gaven, the area was taken up by Stockland in 1990 and designed as a suburb with 5,800 housing lots and several open space reserves.

Land sales began in 1993 and half the total lots were already sold by 2003 when the area became its own separate suburb, named Pacific Pines for the vegetation and the views. Find out more about the Gold Coast's history here.
