Coomera is a suburb of the Gold Coast,
Queensland, Australia. At the 2011 Census, Coomera had a population of 8,793. The name
Coomera comes from the Aboriginal word for
fern.
Located next to the Pacific Motorway, Coomera
is close to Pimpama, Hope Island, Willow Vale,
Wongawallan, Oxenford, and east of Upper
Coomera. The southern boundary of Coomera
is aligned with the Coomera River.
Coomera has long been earmarked as a new
satellite growth suburb, similar in many ways to
Robina. With Australia's biggest and most
popular theme park, Dreamworld and location
of the Big Brother Australia house, and plans for
a TAFE, a university campus and Queensland's
biggest shopping centre around the existing
station, Coomera has been predicted to grow
considerably beyond its present size.
