Brisbane property market and urban growth corridor
The Coastal Alternative to the Gold Coast
For decades, property purchasers pursuing a sub-tropical coastal lifestyle defaulted almost exclusively to the Gold Coast or the Sunshine Coast. However, as median house prices across coastal Gold Coast strip suburbs surpass multi-million-dollar thresholds, discerning buyers are rediscovering the natural beauty, maritime heritage, and untapped potential of the Redlands Coast.
Located just forty-three kilometres south-east of Brisbane CBD along the protected waters of southern Moreton Bay, Redland Bay has become the focal point of a major masterplanned coastal transformation. Anchored by Lendlease's landmark Shoreline masterplanned community, this picturesque bay enclave delivers relaxed seaside living with metropolitan convenience. Discover our active Queensland house and land packages situated in premier coastal pockets.
The Vision for Lendlease Shoreline
Spanning approximately 260 hectares along the foreshore of Redland Bay, Shoreline is one of South East Queensland's most prestigious greenfield masterplans. Designed to eventually house over 10,000 residents across 3,000 homes, Shoreline is conceived as a self-contained, walkable coastal village.
The masterplan integrates twenty-eight percent of the total site area into dedicated public open space, featuring a 2.8-kilometre linear foreshore park, walking and cycling trails, local community hubs, and proposed primary schooling. The planned Shoreline Town Centre will incorporate a full-line supermarket, waterfront dining cafes, specialty retail, and allied healthcare services, creating an independent village lifestyle right on the water's edge.
Maritime Lifestyle and Bay Island Connectivity
What distinguishes Redland Bay from inland growth corridors is its immediate proximity to the aquatic playground of Southern Moreton Bay. Residents enjoy doorstep access to world-class recreational boating, sailing, and game fishing, with the Redland Bay boat ramp providing direct sheltered water navigation to Russell Island, Macleay Island, Coochiemudlo Island, and North Stradbroke Island (Minjerribah).
Furthermore, the nearby Weinam Creek Priority Development Area is delivering a comprehensive marine transport precinct upgrade, featuring expanded passenger ferry terminals, multi-level commuter parking, waterfront restaurants, and public boardwalks.
Investment Fundamentals and Bayside Scarcity
Unlike inland western corridors with expansive tracts of future development land, coastal land within forty-five minutes of Brisbane CBD is severely finite. Strict environmental zoning protects the surrounding marine parklands and koala conservation corridors, permanently constraining future land supply across the Redlands.
This structural scarcity drives exceptional rental demand, with vacancy rates consistently tracking below 1.0 percent. Brand new four-bedroom homes in Shoreline command executive rental rates from sea-changers and healthcare professionals working at the nearby Redland Hospital, delivering gross yields between 4.8% and 5.3% alongside superior long-term capital compounding.
