Re: Gold Coast 'vs' Sunshine Coast 'vs' Brisbane Suburbs
If you have state sponsorship for your business visa, I thought that you were restricted as to where to settle. We were going to apply for this but there were certain postcodes that we were not allowed to go to as they were wanting more regional business migrants.

That'll be $255 for the drum for my printer, or I can buy a Brand new laser printer for $247 or even less !

Re: Gold Coast 'vs' Sunshine Coast 'vs' Brisbane Suburbs
We spent weeks driving around the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane, Gold Coast and Tweed shire.
We loved Maroochydore (spelling??) and Tweed more than any of the other places, but it came down to where I could find work, so we've ended up on the Northern end of the Gold Coast, which means I can commute to Brisbane. This is why so many of us end up in places like Redcliffe and Cleveland. So if I could get work nearer Ballina/ Byron or the Tweed, or up the Sunshine coast somewhere, we'd move there, but unfortunately, you have to consider all the practical cr*p too.

There is quite a bit of crime there too, I think the residents of Bayside want a big cement wall, like the one in Israel to be built around it tooo.
Thats my impression, as there is no socail interaction in that place, and its dead, except for friday and saturday night between 7-30 and 11pm

We want medium to high value homes....no council estates I can say this and get away with it, coz I was brought (dragged) up on one.
I am not expecting zero crime, but pretty low.
Hope this helps.
