Overview

Southport is the Gold Coast’s bustling central business district and the state’s most populous suburb, with 36,786 residents recorded in the 2021 census. The waterfront setting along the Broadwater hosts marinas, the Southport Yacht Club and the expansive Southport Broadwater Parklands, while Australia Fair Shopping Centre, a vibrant Chinatown precinct and a mix of 18 high‑rise towers deliver retail, dining and urban living options. Health and knowledge hubs line the eastern fringe, featuring the Gold Coast University Hospital, Griffith University’s large campus and a suite of primary and secondary schools, giving families easy access to education and medical services.

A network of main roads – the Gold Coast Highway and Smith Street Motorway – links the suburb to the wider coast, and public transport is anchored by seven G:link light‑rail stations and two major bus termini (Southport and GCUH). The nearby Helensvale railway station, just 11 km away, provides regular services to Brisbane and the airport, ensuring Southport’s residents and workers stay well‑connected.
