Hi I'm also moving with 2 young children and looking at the gold coast but unfortunately I atm we only have enough points for 190 NSW state sponsored visa. I found 2 nice areas in north gold coast and about 40 mins drive from Brisbane, Helensvale and Pacific Pines. Schools look good and lots to do for young familys. Now I'm looking at Newcastle in NSW which has been reccomend so many times so would reccomend looking there if you have to go for a NSW state sponsored visas. My husband is a floor and wall tiler and it is no longer on the skill shortage list.
