All about Moreton Bay!

Moreton Bay Region is a beautiful local government area in South East Queensland, just north of the Brisbane metro area. Framed by a patchwork of mountain ranges, coastlines, and pristine waters, Moreton Bay has skyrocketed in popularity over recent years. It encompasses three previous local governments, including Redcliffe City, Pine Rivers Shire, and Caboolture Shire, and was created in 2008.

This explosion of popularity in the region is due to several factors including the region’s prime location in the northern growth corridor heading towards the Sunshine Coast. Moreton Bay offers affordable homes, excellent public transport options to Brisbane, and proximity to Brisbane’s CBD and airport. It’s everything people love about living in a capital city, without the hefty price tag.

The Queensland State Government has also named Moreton Bay a priority development area which has resulted in massive infrastructure projects, including the new university at Petrie, the upgrade to Caboolture Hospital and the development of several new satellite hospitals, the Moreton Bay Rail link, and the North Lakes retail centre. As a result of this growth, the Moreton Bay Region has recently been promoted to city status.

Standout suburbs – you’ll love living here!

Moreton Bay has been named the healthiest region in Greater Brisbane to invest in property. Suburbs such as Banksia Beach, Burpengary, and Sandstone Point all saw a steady rise in sales during the first part of this year, but which suburbs are the standouts?

North Lakes

North Lakes is an amazing place to live. The community boasts numerous shopping and employment precincts including Westfield Shopping Centre, Ikea, Bunnings, and Costco, and is home to several schools including North Lakes State College and Bounty Boulevard State School.

Woody Point

Woody Point is a beautiful seaside suburb in what was formerly Redcliffe City. The foreshore area has stunning old Queenslander properties and fabulous views over the bay. The area has managed to retain its coastal community feel, with bicycle pathways, seaside cafes, and foreshore upgrades adding to the excellent lifestyle on offer. Houses go for a median price of $760,000, while units are $560,000 – very affordable for an area so close to the sea!

Banksia Beach

The ‘calm side’ suburb offers a fabulous lifestyle with fishing, boating, and swimming on offer, as well as markets, art and craft groups, and a wonderful community spirit. Median house prices have risen in recent times to $915,000, but homes this close to the canal and the beautiful Pumicestone Passage seem like a steal at that price.
