The Southport Australian Rules Football Club is the football heart of the Gold Coast with an off-field reputation just as impressive as its on-field achievements. It is one of Queensland’s leading licensed clubs with ever-expanding facilities and a membership base of over 40 000 people. Located on the corner of Musgrave and Olsen Avenues in Southport, the Club is a short drive from Surfers Paradise and the golden beaches of the Gold Coast, and is situated just off the Smith St Motorway near Griffith University. The Sharks moved to its present site on Fankhauser Reserve on Musgrave Avenue in Southport with the help of a sizeable donation from Mr Wally Fankhauser. Construction of a clubhouse began in 1988 and a full-sized football field soon followed. The club is constantly expanding and improving. In 1998 a $6m Gaming Room and upgrades to the Lounge Bar and restaurant were completed, before the $5m Functions Centre, Carmody’s Grill, and Cocktail Bar became welcome additions to the club in 2000. The recently completed round of renovations introduced a new reception, sports bar, bottleshop, beer garden, and an all new food court and gymnasium, as well as a brand new fantastic kiddies area, 'Wobbygongs!'
