About Morayfield

Morayfield is a rapidly expanding suburb north of Brisbane, home to nearly 25,000 residents in the Moreton Bay region, 40 kilometres from the CBD. The rail station provides direct city access, while Morayfield Shopping Centre serves as the major retail hub for the northern growth corridor. Development continues to spread across former farmland.

The suburb offers classic growth-corridor living—modern homes at accessible prices, establishing schools and facilities, and a young family demographic. The shopping centre, hospitals, and services are comprehensive for an outer suburb. Morayfield attracts first-home buyers and young families seeking Queensland sunshine and space at prices far below Brisbane proper.

Morayfield falls under postcode 4506 and is governed by Moreton Bay Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Morayfield electorate.
