SOUTHPORT – A SUBURB ON THE MOVE!

Southport is the traditional heart of the Gold Coast situated just north of Surfers Paradise with the Nerang River and Broadwater as its natural eastern boundaries. As with many older established suburbs Southport has major amenities and facilities which have been established over many years such as the Gold Coast Hospital, the law courts and established private schools such as St HildaÂ’s, TSS and Aquinas. Southport has major shopping facilities with Australia Fair and Southport Park. Southport is commonly known as the medical precinct of the Gold Coast with many specialist and medical related businesses having offices in close proximity to the Gold Coast Hospital, Allamanda Pivate Hospital, Allamanda Surgicentre, The Eye Centre and Pacific Private Hospital and other specialist centres are also located in Southport.

Southport is racing ahead as the genuine CBD of the Gold Coast, buoyed by an influx of development worth more than $70 million suggesting that Southport is destined to be the cityÂ’s undisputed regional centre.
Expanding educational facilities, which include the 8000-student Griffith University (ear-marked for further expansion), 5000-strong TAFE, 2500-student Central Queensland University and SouthportÂ’s reputation as a major employment generator have facilitated the need for further residential development progress.

Southport is on the verge of significant urban renewal cementing the suburbÂ’s identity on the Gold Coast.
