About Woody Point

Woody Point is a compact bayside suburb on the Redcliffe Peninsula in South East Queensland, situated within the Moreton Bay Regional Council area approximately 27 kilometres north of Brisbane. Occupying just 1.65 square kilometres on the western shore of the peninsula overlooking Moreton Bay, the suburb is home to around 4,548 residents. With a median age of 53 and a median household income of around $1,227 per week, Woody Point has an older, settled community character typical of the Redcliffe Peninsula's long-established bayside localities.

The suburb's foreshore is a defining feature, offering picturesque bay views, walking paths, and a relaxed seaside ambience that draws both residents and visitors. Woody Point Jetty is a local landmark and popular fishing spot, and the area's cafes and waterfront parks contribute to its laid-back coastal lifestyle. Affordable housing relative to inner Brisbane, combined with improved transport links following the opening of the Moreton Bay Rail Link, has made the area increasingly appealing to commuters and sea-changers alike.

Woody Point falls under postcode 4019 and is governed by Moreton Bay Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Redcliffe electorate.
