In the original plan, Kerrydale was to be a separate suburb zoned for a golf course, hotel, accommodation and public space to the south-east of the Robina Town Centre. Kerrydale was officially approved on 20 Ferurary 1989 and can be seen on maps of that period. However, it was legislated in the "Local Government (Robina Town Centre Planning Agreement) Bill 1992" that Kerrydale would be amalgamated into Robina. On 19 May 1995 the boundaries of Robina were officially extended to absorb Kerrydale.
