Is Sandstone Point a nice place to live?

Sandstone Point sits on the mainland side of Pumicestone Passage facing Bribie Island and has a relaxed, village-like character focused on the water. Boat ramps, a marina and foreshore parkland draw anglers, paddleboarders and birdwatchers, while local shops and cafés cover daily needs. Housing is mostly low-rise and low-density, from canal-front and waterfront blocks to family homes and newer estates. The community of 4,094 has a median age of 62, high owner-occupation (82.5%) and a large share of couple households, so it appeals to people seeking a coastal lifestyle without island living, including families and retirees. Planning for a new Bribie Island bridge with a dedicated active-transport path is under way, and proposed local works include intersection upgrades and lane duplication. Locally, Sandstone Point has council-owned facilities including the Sandstone Point Community and Sports Complex with a hall, sports fields and a skate park, and Aird Street Park's playground was upgraded with federal grant funding.
