About Bray Park

Bray Park is an established suburban locality in the Moreton Bay region, situated approximately 25 kilometres north of Brisbane CBD in South East Queensland. With a population of over 10,000 residents, it forms part of the broader Pine Rivers area and sits within the Moreton Bay Regional Council local government area. The suburb is characterised by quiet, tree-lined streets, comfortable family homes, and a strong sense of community that has developed over several decades of suburban growth. Its position alongside the Bruce Highway corridor gives it excellent road links to both Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast.

Bray Park offers a relaxed suburban lifestyle with all the essentials close by — local shopping centres, parks, sporting facilities, and well-regarded state schools are all within easy reach. The suburb is home to a mix of established families, young couples, and retirees who value space, affordability, and proximity to Brisbane without the inner-city pace. Bray Park State School and Bray Park State High School serve the local community, while Genesis Christian College provides an independent option. The Sunshine Coast beaches are roughly 60 kilometres away, making weekend getaways easy.
