Southport, Administrative division in Gold Coast City, Australia
Southport functions as the central business district of Gold Coast City, featuring office buildings, commercial establishments, and residential developments along the coast.
The settlement, initially named Nerang Creek Heads, received its current name in 1875 as it represented the most southern port in Queensland colony.
The area maintains multiple educational institutions, including primary and secondary schools, contributing to the intellectual development of the local population.
The Gold Coast light rail system connects Southport to neighboring areas, while the Smith Street Motorway provides direct access to major highways.
