Why Burleigh Waters Stands Out
1. Block Sizes Support Extensions
Many blocks are 600–800m², making granny flat or office additions viable STCA (Subject to Council Approval).
2. Internet-Ready Zones
The suburb has full NBN FTTP coverage, essential for Zoom calls and cloud-based businesses.
3. Quiet Street Planning
Curved cul-de-sacs, reserve frontages, and green buffers create distraction-free environments.
4. Beach-Inspired Balance
You can work from home, then surf or walk the lake within 5 minutes — that’s lifestyle leverage.
