At a glance

Banksia Beach the boating capital of Bribie ? a canalside suburb on the island's southern end where most homes have a waterfront or near-waterfront position and many have their own jetties. Sixty kilometres north of Brisbane, it's built around the canals that were carved out of the mangrove flats, creating the kind of water-adjacent lifestyle that commands a premium on the mainland but remains accessible here. The median house price reflects the quality of the homes and the canal access, and the Banksia Beach Bowls Club is the social hub.

Crime is 40% lower than QLD average (break-ins vs QLD) and violent crime is 30% lower than QLD average. Population of 2,902 (2021), growing +5%.
