About Wellington Point
Welcome to Wellington Point
Wellington Point sits on the shores of Moreton Bay in Brisbane's Redlands region, roughly 25 kilometres south-east of the CBD. Framed by water on three sides and anchored by the well-known King Island causeway and its fig-tree-lined foreshore, it has long been one of the Redlands' most sought-after addresses, offering a bayside lifestyle without the price tag of the inner city's coastal pockets.
With a population of around 12,661 and a median age of 43, Wellington Point tends to suit families and professionals looking to put down roots, along with downsizers drawn to its relaxed pace and water views. It sits comfortably alongside Ormiston, Cleveland, Thorneside, Point Halloran and Alexandra Hills, forming part of a well-established bayside pocket that has grown steadily without losing its village feel.
Lifestyle & dining
Life in Wellington Point revolves around the water. The foreshore reserve and its century-old fig trees are a local landmark, drawing walkers, picnicking families and photographers chasing a bay sunset, while the causeway out to King Island remains one of the most photographed spots in the Redlands. The village shopping strip along Main Avenue has a relaxed, low-key café culture, and residents happily cross into neighbouring Cleveland for a bigger night-out selection, given how close the two centres sit to one another.
Shopping
For everyday needs, the local village centre covers the basics, but most residents lean on nearby Cleveland for its fuller retail and dining precinct, along with Capalaba to the west for larger shopping centre options. This gives Wellington Point the best of both worlds: a quiet, walkable local strip with bigger centres only a short drive away.
Getting around
Wellington Point railway station sits on the Cleveland line, giving residents a direct rail run into central Brisbane, which is a major drawcard for commuters who want bayside living without giving up city access. Buses supplement the train network, and the suburb's road connections through to Old Cleveland Road and the Redlands' arterial network make trips to Capalaba, Cleveland and beyond straightforward. It's a suburb where a car is handy for daily life, but not essential for a city commute.
Schools & families
Families are well catered for locally, with Wellington Point State School and Wellington Point State High School both situated in the suburb, giving younger residents a genuine walk-to-school option. Redlands College, a well-regarded independent school, is also close by, rounding out a solid spread of public and private choices that make the suburb a popular pick for parents planning long-term.
Parks & recreation
Beyond the famous foreshore and causeway, Wellington Point offers plenty of green space for an active outdoor lifestyle, from bay-side walking and cycling paths to spots for fishing, crabbing and paddling that take advantage of the calm Moreton Bay waters. The proximity to Point Halloran and Thorneside extends the network of coastal reserves further still, making it easy to spend a weekend entirely outdoors.
The property market
Wellington Point's property market reflects its enduring popularity, with the median house price sitting at $1.36 million after growth of 12.4% recently, a sign of sustained buyer demand for the suburb's bayside position. Median rent of $875 a week points to strong appeal among tenants as well as owner-occupiers. Current listings are dominated by houses, which make up 77% of stock, with townhouses accounting for 18% and vacant land the remaining 5%, underlining the suburb's character as a predominantly house-and-land market rather than a unit-heavy one. Buyers are typically chasing established homes close to the water, with the mix of housing stock offering some flexibility for those trading up or downsizing within the same suburb.
