At a glance

Sandstone Point the Bribie Island gateway ? sitting right at the bridge where mainland meets island, it's become a destination in its own right thanks to the Sandstone Point Hotel, a massive waterfront venue that draws crowds from across the region. Sixty kilometres north of Brisbane, it's a mix of canalside homes, holiday houses, and new estates that are steadily filling in the remaining green space. The median house price below $800,000 for water-adjacent living is a steal compared to similar offerings on the Sunshine Coast.

Crime is 40% lower than QLD average (break-ins vs QLD) and violent crime is 30% lower than QLD average. Population of 2,015 (2021), growing +5%.
