About Ormiston
Ormiston is a bayside suburb in the Redland City local government area, situated approximately 25 kilometres south-east of Brisbane's CBD within the Greater Brisbane region. With a population of 6,379 and a median age of 47, the suburb has a mature, established community character that appeals to families and those seeking a quieter coastal lifestyle. Its low-lying position at just nine metres above sea level reflects its proximity to the shores of Moreton Bay.

The Cleveland train line at nearby Cleveland station offers a direct connection to Brisbane City, complemented by easy access to the Gateway Motorway. Ormiston's leafy residential streets, relaxed coastal atmosphere, and proximity to Redlands Coast shopping precincts make it a sought-after address for families and semi-retirees alike.
