Suburb Intelligence Report
Redcliffe 4020
Redcliffe Peninsula — 36km from CBD · City of Moreton Bay · Earliest European settlement QLD (1824); major coastal centre
At a glance
Redcliffe where Queensland itself began — the first European settlement in the state was planted here in 1824, and the peninsula has been drawing people ever since. Sticking out into Moreton Bay 28km north of Brisbane, it’s a proper coastal centre with the iconic Redcliffe Jetty, the Settlement Cove Lagoon, and a red-dirt foreshore that has serious holiday-town energy. The Dolphins’ entry into the NRL put the town on the national map, but locals know the real draw: water views at half the price of the Gold Coast, a revitalised dining scene around the jetty, and the train line (via Kippa-Ring) that finally connected the peninsula in 2016. House prices have climbed 62% in five years, and there’s still room to move.
Crime is 35% lower than QLD average (break-ins vs QLD) and violent crime is 25% lower than QLD average. Population of 11,699 (2021), growing +6.2% since 2016.
