Nerang is a suburb on the Gold Coast in
Queensland, Australia, that lies upon the
Nerang River. At the 2011 Census, Nerang had a
population of 16,256.
Nerang, like Mudgeeraba, is the very remnant of
those townships that characterise the rural
hinterland of the Gold Coast. Together with
Advancetown and Tallebudgera its settlement
was brought together with the construction of the
Gold Coast railway in the later years of the 19th
century. It was not until the 20th century that the
coastal lands became dominant. Subdivision was
conventional and buildings were traditional rural
or rural commercial.
