Hope Island is a suburb on the Gold Coast in
Queensland, Australia. At the 2011 Census,
Hope Island had a population of 8,483. Hope
Island is close to both the Gold Coast beaches
and Brisbane city. The area was named after
colonial aristocrat Captain Louis Hope, who was
granted approximately 1,800 acres (7.3 km2) of
land at the mouth of the Coomera River in
recognition of his contribution in developing
the sugar industry in Queensland.

Hope Island is positioned on the northern Gold
Coast. It is a short distance from the Pacific
Motorway. Hope Island has a marina, shops,
restaurants, theme parks, schools and three
golf courses within close proximity. Hope Island
is home to the upmarket Hope Island Resort
and Sanctuary Cove. Community facilities
include a harbour front dining/shopping
precinct, deep water mooring facilities and
luxury housing.

Hope Island is currently undergoing major
strategic planning by developers, together with
the Gold Coast City Council, who advocate
mixed use (that is, parallel commercial and
residential development).
