Bellara suburb profile

Bellara is a waterside suburb on Bribie Island's western foreshore, facing the sheltered Pumicestone Passage and framed by mangrove-lined creeks and parkland. It has a relaxed, coastal character where residents make the most of boating, fishing and waterfront walks along the esplanade. Housing is mostly low-rise, with single-storey homes and units ranging from older beach cottages to more recent family houses, and the community includes many people after a quieter seaside pace. Connection to the mainland is via the Bribie Island Bridge, while everyday shops and services are focused in neighbouring Bongaree.
