Mount Cotton suburb profile

Mount Cotton is a semi-rural suburb in Redland City centred on a low wooded mount and surrounded by rolling paddocks, horse properties and eucalyptus bushland. It appeals to people wanting acreage or lifestyle blocks, hobby farmers and families who prefer quieter streets and a village atmosphere over dense suburbs.

The suburb is anchored by a modest village centre and outdoor recreation, with walking tracks and picnic areas in Venman Bushland National Park and other reserves. Most residents travel by car to shops, schools and nearby bayside centres while enjoying a rural outlook close to urban services.
