Welcome to our community website. The Sorrento Community Qld Inc. has been created for the benefit of residents and visitors to Sorrento by working towards a safer environment and to create a community spirit.
Sorrento is a neighbourhood within the south of Bundall. It takes its name from a canal real estate development on the Nerang River that created 800 waterfront blocks and 400 “dry” blocks. The northernmost part of the suburb near the canals is also used for housing. There are commercial buildings to the north of Ashmore Road and the west of Bundall Road. The centre of the suburb provides a range of civic infrastructure including Southport Racecourse (with naming rights as Aquis Park and associated businesses and the Benowa Effluent re-pump station, part of the city’s sewage and recycled water infrastructure.
Bundall is bounded by the Slayter Road to the north, Bundall Road to the east, Nerang River to the south-east and south and an unnamed canal from the Nerang River to the south-west and west.
In 2020, a small group of residents decided to form the Facebook group “Sorrento Community Qld”. Membership of the group quickly grew to over 1,000 local members. The inspiration of the group was to share information, promote local recommendations, encourage suburb gentrification, reunite lost pets, keys, belongings and to look out for each other by alerting one another of suspicious behaviour in the area. All this with the intention of making this great suburb even better.
