Living in Newport: The Canal Community

28 May 2026ยท Beverley Gibbons

Newport is the Redcliffe Peninsula's canal estate โ€” a master-planned waterfront community built around the Swan Canal system. Direct water access, modern homes, and a marina lifestyle within reach of Brisbane.

Newport is what happens when someone decides to build a Venice in Moreton Bay. The Swan Canal system winds through the estate, giving many homes direct water access โ€” boats parked in backyard canals are the norm. Developed from the 1990s, it's the Redcliffe Peninsula's premier canal estate.

The Newport Marina and Scarborough Marina serve the boating community. The estate has its own shopping village and waterfront dining precinct. The Redcliffe Peninsula railway line at Kippa-Ring is 10 minutes away. For buyers who want waterfront living โ€” direct canal access, marina lifestyle, modern homes โ€” without the Gold Coast price tag, Newport is the answer.

Who Should Buy Here?

Newport is for buyers who want a canal lifestyle with direct water access โ€” a Venice in Moreton Bay, without the Italian prices.
