Rothwell suburb profile

Rothwell is a residential suburb on the Redcliffe peninsula in Moreton Bay, set close to coastal wetlands and the foreshore. It feels like a practical family suburb, with tree-lined streets of predominantly low-set brick and timber homes alongside newer townhouse pockets, and a handful of waterfront properties near the inlet. The area suits commuters, served by a local station on the Redcliffe Peninsula rail line and direct road links to adjoining centres. Residents enjoy nearby parks, waterway reserves and informal fishing spots, while shopping, schools and cafés on the peninsula are a short trip away.
