Heritage & Conservation
Runaway Bay is a mid-20th century beachside residential suburb on the Gold Coast with predominantly modern housing stock from the 1960s onwards. The area has minimal heritage designation, as it developed primarily as a post-war coastal residential community rather than an early settlement or heritage conservation precinct. Individual heritage listings are rare, though the Gold Coast City Council Heritage Register may contain scattered older properties of local significance.
