Download coordinates as: Lower Beechmont is a rural residential locality in the City of Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia.

Beechmont Range, a prominent spur of the McPherson Range which runs through the locality roughly north to south, was created by the erosion of the volcanic shield by the Nerang and Coomera Rivers,[3] and forms the divide between the north and south catchment areas of the Gold Coast hinterland.

[5] Originally settled as farmland, the area has transformed in recent years to become a dormitory town of the Gold Coast as the city has grown westwards.

Local government planning restrictions limit the area to low density housing in order to preserve the bush backdrop of the city.

It is believed the area has been inhabited at least 6,500 years prior to European settlement by the Wanggeriburra clan, one of many Yugambeh family groups from the region encompassing the Lamington Plateau, Beechmont, Mundoolun and Tabragalba.

Along with the Kombumerri clan, they traveled across the mountains of the Beechmont Range during migrations to and from coastal and inland areas.

[18] Tarlington Pinches was the name given to the section of Beechmont Road, near Elimbah Court, where it descends from the plateau.

The other top responses for country of birth were England 8.2%, New Zealand 6.4%, South Africa 1.4%, Scotland 1.1% and Germany 1.1%.

91% of people spoke only English at home; the next most common languages were German 1.5%, Afrikaans 0.3%, Italian 0.3%, Slovak 0.3% and Japanese 0.3%.

[26] Syd Duncan Park is a large green expanse situated on the southern side of the rise above Beechmont Road.

Mr Duncan had lost everything in a house fire in November 1950 [27] and was substantially assisted by the community to recover.

Covering 775 hectares, it is part of the habitat corridor between Canungra and Coombabah and is a critical link between Mount Tamborine and Springbrook.

[31] The area was purchased using the Open Space Preservation Levy paid by Gold Coast ratepayers and forms an important piece of the green backdrop of the city.
