Burleigh Heads had 10,572 residents at the 2021 Census (ABS QuickStats).

Nearly half of Burleigh Heads’ occupied homes (46.7%) were flats or apartments in 2021, and 33.5% were rented. In a unit, report water to the body corporate or building manager, and to your property manager if you rent. Queensland Government guidance says the lot owner would normally pay the excess on a body corporate claim caused by a leak in their lot. For tenants, a burst water service and a serious roof leak count as emergency repairs, and the tenancy agreement names a nominated repairer.

Some details help before you call. Where did the water come from: a pipe, the roof or a unit above? Is it still coming in? What’s wet? Is the unit owned or rented, and has the body corporate or your insurer been told? When you’re ready, and with your consent, we’ll refer you to a local restoration business that works in Burleigh Heads.
