About Newstead
Newstead is one of Brisbane's most transformed inner-city suburbs, located just 2 kilometres northeast of the CBD along the Brisbane River. Once an industrial waterfront area, it has undergone significant gentrification and now houses over 7,400 residents in a mix of heritage Queenslanders, modern apartments, and converted warehouse spaces. The median income of $54,000 reflects the diverse mix of young professionals, creatives, and established residents.
Contemporary Newstead is defined by its vibrant food and bar scene, with Gasworks Plaza serving as a social hub featuring restaurants, boutiques, and a cinema. The suburb's waterfront location offers scenic walks along the river, while heritage buildings like the Newstead House (Queensland's oldest surviving residence) add historical charm. Excellent public transport connections and proximity to Fortitude Valley and the CBD make it popular with professionals seeking an urban village atmosphere.
Newstead falls under postcode 4006 and is governed by Brisbane Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the McConnel electorate.
