Burleigh Waters socio-economic profile

The 2021 Census recorded 14,556 residents. Property data from Allhomes indicates a strong upward trend (houses +57.42% and units +81.25% in median value over recent years), suggesting a well-established, aspirational suburb. The area features canal-front living with five named lakes and extensive waterways. No specific median household income or median age figures were available in the provided sources.

Country of birth

Burleigh Waters-specific data wasn't in the sources, but the most reliable regional reference from nearby Broadbeach Waters (2021 Census) shows 65.2% of people born in Australia, with New Zealand (7.3%) and England (5.0%) as the dominant overseas birthplaces. The Gold Coast region generally reflects this pattern, with an overwhelmingly Australian-born population and NZ/England as the leading overseas origins.

OSHC provision at Marymount Primary School

The Marymount Outside School Hours Care is operated by the Burleigh Catholic Parish and is located on school grounds (3 Sunlight Drive, Burleigh Waters). CareforKids.com.au confirms it offers Before School Care, Vacation Care, and After School Care. Specific operating hours were listed as "Not Available" on the directory, so families should contact the parish directly for opening and closing times.

Extracurricular activities at Marymount

The school's co-curricular program includes **Instrumental and Band Tuition** (private lessons in brass, woodwind, drums, guitar, keyboard/piano, voice, and strings, delivered individually or in pairs), **Sport** (a variety of onsite after-school sporting activities), and **Chess**. These are conducted onsite after school hours. (Note: The provided source mistakenly linked to a Korean TV series; the authoritative school pages confirm the music, sport, and chess programs.)

Suburb amenities and grocery options

Burleigh Waters has two large shopping centres (noted in the Geography section of the Marymount College reference). The broader Burleigh area is described as having "a blossoming population of restaurants, cafes, and bars" (Queensland.com visitor guide). No specific supermarket chains (e.g., Woolworths, Coles, Aldi) or ethnic grocers were named in the provided sources - only that two major retail centres serve the suburb.

Weeknight dining options

No specific restaurants were named in the provided sources. The Queensland.com visitor guide references the Burleigh Heads restaurant strip as having a growing population of restaurants, cafes, and bars. For named establishments, families should consult local directories or review platforms, as the supplied snippets contained only generic references (with several unrelated results about Burleigh Pottery ceramics).

Tutoring and enrichment services

No tutoring centres specifically in Burleigh Waters were identified in the provided sources (the snippets returned results for Burleigh Pottery, a UK ceramics manufacturer - clearly irrelevant). Families would need to research local options separately, as no reputable tutoring service in Burleigh Waters was found in the available material.

Commute to Brisbane CBD

Public transport is coordinated by **Translink**, with trains operated by **Queensland Rail** through its City network. The nearest rail service is the **Gold Coast line**, which terminates at **Varsity Lakes** station (the line is used for suburban connections). Burleigh Waters sits approximately 10–15 minutes' drive from Varsity Lakes station. Translink currently offers all fares at 50 cents across SEQ. A typical train journey from Varsity Lakes to Central Station Brisbane takes approximately one hour, though the provided sources did not specify an exact door-to-door time for Burleigh Waters residents.
