Robina
Robina and neighbouring Varsity Lakes are centres for education and high-tech communications.
Bond University, Australia's first private university, is situated in this suburb as is a major shopping centre, Robina Town Centre, featuring 220+ stores while Queensland Rail has direct links.
Robina is the third largest suburb on the Gold Coast of Australia and 'is designed to be a people place'. The Robina Town Centre shopping centre and Bond University are both located in Robina.
In the late 1970s and early 1980s a Singaporean developer by the name of Dr. Robin Loh, in partnership with Arthur Earle, saw the area as a 'world standard master planned community providing everything required by a modern society'.
Since its population of zero in the 1980s Robina has experienced a strong growth to a population of over 30,000 people, largely due to interstate migration.
Robina Town Centre is also the location for the Skilled Park. The stadium has a seating capacity of over 27,000, and is rectangular, meeting the requirements of the NRL, soccer and rugby union. The Gold Coast Titans, an NRL team, is based at Skilled Park.
