Norwell is a rural locality in the northern part of
City of Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. In the
2011 census, Norwell had a population of
282 people.

Norwell is bounded to the east by Jacobs Well, to
the south by Pimpama, to the
west by Ormeau, and to the north by Gilberton
and Woongoolba.

In the late 1800s, the farming district located
between the Pimpama River and the Logan River
called Pimpama Island and encompasses the
modern localities of Jacobs Well, Norwell, Steiglitz
and Woongoolba. It was referred
to as an island because there were a number of
lagoons and swamps that isolated the area during
the wet season; however, this disadvantage made
it good land for growing sugar cane
