Coomera Town Centre
Coomera Town Centre is a major mixed use precinct planned for the suburb's north. The precinct is centred around Coomera Station and Foxwell Road. At the heart of this precinct is a retail area, which will become the region's major shopping centre. This shopping precinct has gone through much controvercy throughout the last decade, and the project remains unstarted. The land in the area was owned by the government, Coomera Resort/Coomera Town Centre Management owned by Japanese company Hokojitsugyo and Macquarie Leisure Trust, a part of Macquarie Bank and owners of Dreamworld. In 2005, Macquarie Leisure Trust made bid for the development, with CityWalk @ Coomera, a shopping centre connected to Dreamworld. This proposal was rejected by the Gold Coast City Council who favored a more traditional approach to shopping centres and planned for an open centre based along streets. In June/July 2007, Coomera Resort's landholding in the hub was sold to the Westfield Group and Queensland Investment Corporation, an investment arm of the Queensland Government.
