The area is appealing to many businesses as it is close to the M1 and also the main arterial roads of the Gold Coast allowing easy access. Both Robina and Varsity Lakes are master planned communities and as such a lot of thought and planning has gone into the suburbs. Major infrastructure is in place such as the railway from Brisbane to Robina, soon to be extended to Varsity Lakes and eventually on to the Gold Coast International Airport at Coolangatta. The Robina/Varsity Lakes precinct has become the second largest office precinct** on the Gold Coast.
If development continues at the current pace at Robina and Varsity Lakes then it is possible in time that it will overtake Southport and become the largest office precinct on the Gold Coast
