Q1 is a high-rise residential and mixed-use skyscraper in Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia, notable for being one of the tallest buildings in the country. It includes apartments, leisure facilities and a publicly accessible observation level.

The tower contains a commercial observation platform that provides panoramic views over the coastline and city; the building is a local landmark on the Gold Coast skyline. Its height and position near the beachfront make it a prominent feature for visitors and residents alike.

Q1 was developed and completed in the early 21st century as part of the Gold Coast’s high-rise beachfront development; it remains a major vertical residential project with significant tourist visitation to its viewing facilities.

The skyscraper stands in the central Surfers Paradise precinct of the Gold Coast, within easy walking distance of beaches, cafes and tourist amenities.

• Height and viewing: Reaches an architectural height of about 322.5 metres and contains a public observation deck and leisure facilities near the top.
• Location and use: Located in the Surfers Paradise district, it combines residential apartments with retail and tourist attractions focused on ocean and city views.

Q1 Tower is in Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast. By road it’s about 75-90 km south of Brisbane on the M1 (roughly a 1-1.5 hour drive). Public transit: Queensland Rail services to the Gold Coast combined with the G:link light rail will get you into Surfers Paradise - alight at the Cavill Avenue / Surfers Paradise stops on the G:link and it’s a 2-5 minute walk to the Q1 precinct.

• Book a timed entry for SkyPoint (the observation deck) if you want sunset views-slots sell out on weekends and holidays, so reserve in advance for the best light.
• Arrive via the G:link tram to Surfers Paradise (Cavill Avenue) to avoid parking headaches; the observation deck and its entry lobby are a short walk from the major tram stops.
• If you want to avoid the busiest periods, visit mid‑week mornings or late evenings on weeknights; many visitors cluster around sunset and weekend daytime hours.
