Position on map:
The former Jazzland Dance Hall is historically significant as it played a major role in the social life of Coolangatta and the southern Gold Coast. It was opened in 1933 in a building formerly used as a motor garage and operated as a ballroom until 1951. The hall was partly reconstructed in 1939. The ballroom was popular with the local residents and, during WW2, with the American soldiers who were based at Tweed Heads. It is a rare surviving purpose built example of a ballroom from the interwar period in Queensland.
