Neighbourhood Located at the northern end of Redcliffe Peninsula on beautiful Moreton Bay, Newport was born in 2008 from land and canal development west of Scarborough. A consistent up-and-comer with family-friendly living down pat, the suburb embodies an easy, breezy seaside lifestyle with year-round holiday vibes. Large family homes take pride of place along the canals, while cosy cul-de-sacs and spacious blocks draw in young families. For boating enthusiasts, this nautical nook offers the rare opportunity to keep a vessel close to home, with many waterfront residents mooring at their own private pontoons. A range of schools sits close at hand in neighbouring Scarborough, Kippa-Ring and Redcliffe, making Newport an even more appealing option for families seeking a relaxed pace. Things to Do The canals are the lifeblood of Newport, home to the Newport Marina and many of the suburb’s waterfront homes. It’s along these same arterial waterways that locals spend most of their free time, wandering foreshore parks and smooth promenades. They’re also where you’ll find the suburb’s best breakfast burgers and sunset sips. Cycling, fishing, jogging and picnicking are weekend mainstays, with parks, wetlands and endless waterside tracks dotted across the suburb and beyond. When looking to branch out, locals have Redcliffe’s thriving café and dining scene on their doorstep, as well as the lure of fish and chips at nearby Scarborough. Lifestyle Life in Newport fuses the ease of coastal living with urban convenience. A typical day might begin with a coffee-fuelled morning stroll along the waterways and end with dinner in nearby Redcliffe. Foreshore parks and walkways link the suburb to Scarborough, known for its harbour, whilst the peninsula itself offers easy access to Moreton Island, Bribie Island and the Pumicestone Passage. Boating and fishing are central to the community, with many family homes sitting right on the canals. Closer to home, Newport Marketplace offers dining and shopping choices. With quiet culde-sacs and nearby schools, Newport suits families and retirees alike. Best of all, when the city beckons, it’s only an hour away. Newport captures the ease of bayside living, where winding canals, a 22-hectare lake and green parklands bring the water into everyday life. From morning walks and local cafés to weekends boating on Moreton Bay, it offers space to unwind, with schools, shops, Brisbane’s CBD and airport within easy reach. – Dianne Clarke, Principal | Director, Belle Property Newport AREA GUIDE 10 NotableNewport Dotted with coastal walks, parks and neighbourhood cafés, Newport has lifestyle sorted.
