⚡ Beverley's read
Newport the Redcliffe Peninsula's newest estate ? a master-planned waterfront community built around the Newport Marina on the northern tip of the peninsula. Thirty-two kilometres from Brisbane, it's the kind of place where the streets are lined with modern homes and the marina is the social hub, with restaurants and cafes spilling out onto the boardwalk. The median house price is among the highest on the peninsula, reflecting the premium for new-build quality, water access, and the Newport lifestyle that includes the Waterline dining precinct and direct ocean access from the marina.

Living in Newport: The Canal Community
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 — 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 — direct canal access, marina lifestyle, modern homes — 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 — a Venice in Moreton Bay, without the Italian prices.
