Hope Island is a suburb of the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia. In the 2016 Census, Island of Hope has a population of 11,186. Hope Island is close to the beaches of the Gold Coast and Brisbane city. The area is named after the colonial aristocracy of Captain Louis Hope, who was awarded about 1,800 hectares (7.3 km ² ) land at the mouth of the Coomera River in recognition of his contribution in developing the sugar industry in Queensland.

Upon arriving at Moreton Bay in 1848, Hope spent the next 20 years building a sugar plantation on the shores of Moreton Bay. The development of a sugar plantation called 'Rockholm' on the Island is mostly done by the Grimes Family. In the 20th century, sugar and garut plantations have moved into the hands of the Sheehan and Davidson families.
