A Broadwater waterfront suburb with a major family park and light rail.
Southport is the Gold Coast’s civic and waterfront centre, set on the Broadwater. Broadwater Parklands is a family-oriented waterside park with water play areas, a netted swimming enclosure that is not patrolled, electric barbecues in shaded shelters and cafes. The G:link light rail runs through Southport, and TransLink lists a Broadwater Parklands station. The council’s Southport priority development area includes the parklands and nearby land. It suits family days out by the water and easy tram access from other parts of the coast.
