Suburb of Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Isle of Capri is a neighbourhood within the suburb of Surfers Paradise in the City of Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia.[1]
The area served as a sugar harvest for the nearby Benowa Sugar Mill in the late 1800s and early 1900s[2] before becoming a dairy. In the 1950s, local Italian-Australian Efim Zola began a canal development project which involved raising unused farmland[3] and renamed the area Isle of Capri after Capri island in Italy. Future Gold Coast Mayor Sir Bruce Small overtook the project in 1958 and completed unfinished developments.[4]
As of the early 2000s, the Isle of Capri is considered an affluent neighbourhood of the Gold Coast.[5]
