Location & Transport
Sitting around 45-minutes north-east of Brisbane City, the Redcliffe Peninsula is accessed via the Houghton Highway Bridge. From the M1 Motorway, you can also get to the peninsula through North Lakes on Anzac Avenue.
Public transport in the area predominantly takes the form of buses, with several local bus routes, as well as buses that run along Anzac Avenue, linking up with buses heading towards Brisbane. The 2016 opening of the Redcliffe Peninsula train line really changed the game for commuters in the area.
The route was first proposed back in the 1970s, so it has been a long time coming to say the least. This line is an extension of the Petrie line and includes stops at Mango Hill, Rothwell and Kippa-Ring.
Lifestyle
The lifestyle of Redcliffe Peninsula is undeniably laid back. With the beautiful Moreton Bay lapping at your toes, this area is ideal for boaties and fishermen. Open water access to Moreton Bay means the area is popular with both amateur fishermen and professionals. With such a lifestyle, the area attracts a lot of retirees who are keen to make the most of life by the bay. Affordable cost of living also makes this area popular with young families as well as downsizers.
There are a variety of facilities and community hubs throughout the area that cater to the wide demographic of people that call Redcliffe Peninsula home. As well as the Moreton Bay Boat Club and Marina, there is also a second marina at Newport. There are several beachfront bike paths and walkways, with markets that line the street of Redcliffe Parade every Sunday. Settlement Cove Lagoon, a foreshore swimming pool, offers the perfect protected swimming spot for old and young alike. For those with young kids, nothing beats an afternoon spent climbing the cottonwood trees at Scarborough Beach Park.
Education
As the area is home to a slew of young families, there are plenty of schools in the area to cater for this. Within the peninsula, there are five state-run primary schools as well as two high schools: Redcliffe State High School and Clontarf Beach State High School. There are also numerous private schools in the area. Southern Cross Catholic College in Scarborough and Mueller College in Rothwell both teach students from Prep through to Year 12. Grace Lutheran Primary in Clontarf teaches Prep to Year 6, and the affiliate high school, Grace Lutheran College, is also located in the Redcliffe Peninsula area, just off Anzac Avenue in Rothwell.
In terms of tertiary education, TAFE Queensland has a Redcliffe campus and the new train line means Brisbane-based universities, like UQ and QUT, take just over an hour to get to.
Developments
The next stage of the master-planned development Newport sees Stockland working towards the opening of Waterside Town Centre. This precinct will offer a market place, a large waterfront park, an aged-care facility as well as childcare options. This town centre will also feature a new jetty, with the entire precinct being built around the water. Construction is also underway on a 22-hectare lake that will form the centrepiece of this new town centre. It’s expected to be completed this quarter. There are currently several house and land packages selling in the Newport area, with some new releases including waterfront and marina berth properties.
Also along the water, with uninterrupted ocean views is The VUE in Scarborough. This development is one of the first luxury apartment offerings on the peninsula, marking a new opportunity for buyers to claim their slice of paradise. Over the next few years, the Redcliffe Peninsula area is expected to continue to grow significantly, with new house and land developments and luxury apartments feeding a diverse market.
