Common questions about Redland Bay

Is Redland Bay safe?

Yes — it is one of the safer parts of Brisbane, scoring 79/100 for safety and ranking #59 of 277 suburbs. Recorded offences run at 63 per 1,000 residents. That figure is reported for the Redland Bay police division, not for Redland Bay alone — Queensland does not publish suburb-level crime data, so neighbouring suburbs in the same division share it.

Is Redland Bay good for families?

Mixed, and the weak spot is parks. Here are the family measures we can compute — safety 79/100, parks 18/100 and green space 53/100. We do not hold school catchment data, so this does not account for schools — see our Brisbane families ranking for the full method.

Is Redland Bay expensive to live in?

Median rent is $465 a week, and household income ranks #143 of 277 in Brisbane. Against what the suburb offers, it scores 25/100 for value.

Does Redland Bay have good public transport?
