About Wynnum

Wynnum is Brisbane's best-kept bayside secret, a waterfront suburb of 14,000 residents on Moreton Bay, 13 kilometres east of the CBD. The Cleveland line provides rail access to this genuine seaside suburb with heritage character. The esplanade, wading pool, and village atmosphere distinguish Wynnum from typical suburbia.

Life here has a distinctly coastal flavourβ€”the foreshore, boat clubs, and bay views create genuine seaside character within Brisbane. The community values the village atmosphere and waterfront lifestyle. Wynnum attracts families and professionals seeking bayside living with city accessibility and authentic coastal character.

Wynnum falls under postcode 4178 and is governed by Brisbane Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Lytton electorate.
