Victoria Point (Qld), QLD
By Lauren McCaleb · Reviewed by Dylan Duncan ·
Victoria Point is a coastal locality in Redland City, on the shores of Moreton Bay about 33 kilometres south-east of Brisbane. It is largely residential, with a cluster of shopping centres, a cinema and a library at its heart, and a working headland where boat ramps and a volunteer marine rescue unit look out over the bay. From the point a ferry crosses to nearby Coochiemudlo Island. The area was settled for farming in the nineteenth century; a provisional school opened in 1877 and was renamed Victoria Point in 1880, and a state school has served the district ever since. Eprapah Creek forms the northern boundary, beyond which lies Thornlands, while Thompson's Beach offers a shallow, child-friendly stretch of shoreline. Today Victoria Point is known as a relaxed bayside community with a notably settled, older population.

Is Victoria Point (Qld) a good place to live?
There’s no single answer — it depends on what matters to you. So instead of one mystery number, we break it down: a transparent score on each part of life we can back with public data, and an honest “not yet” on the parts we can’t.
Below the national middle on the data we score
A weighted blend of the 2 components we can score for Victoria Point (Qld) from public data. It sits alongside — and reconciles with — the socio-economic Suburb Score above; it is a transparent read, not a complete verdict.

Not yet scored
We’d rather leave these open than publish a number we can’t stand behind. Here’s where each one stands.
- Amenities & accessNot scored yet — our OpenStreetMap amenity mapping is still rolling out across suburbs.
- Green spaceNot scored yet — our OpenStreetMap green-space mapping is still rolling out across suburbs.
- TransportNot scored yet — our OpenStreetMap public-transport mapping is still rolling out across suburbs.
- SchoolsNot scored yet — school performance (ACARA / ICSEA) needs a data-reuse licence cleared before we can publish it.
- SafetyNot scored yet — Australia has no single open crime dataset and safety data carries defamation and legal care, so it is gated pending a go/no-go and will be data-only when added.
- CommunityNot scored yet — we won't reduce community to a number from a proxy. We'd rather leave it open than publish an invented value judgement.
A transparent read on public data, not a verdict — and not a measure of any person or community. See our methodology for how each component is worked out and why some aren’t scored yet.
