Is the Central Gold Coast about to change forever?
In this episode of Buying Gold Coast, Matt Srama sits down with Luke Altschwager, former professional golfer and Managing Director of Palm Valley, to unpack one of the most ambitious projects ever proposed on the Gold Coast, and what it signals for the property market heading into 2026 and beyond.
Luke shares how a tired, rundown golf course in Parkwood became the blueprint for a 234-dwelling precinct combining a world-class surf park, golf, wellness, hospitality and lifestyle living, 800 metres from the Health and Knowledge Precinct and minutes from the M1.
They also break down where the Gold Coast property market is really heading, why the central and northern Gold Coast is primed to grow, and how you can get beachfront lifestyle and amenity without paying beachfront prices.
