Local Government Authority	Brisbane
Location	17 km from CBD
Features	Bayside suburb nestled on peninsula
Commentary	Thorneside remains a quiet bayside suburb located about 40 minutes from the Brisbane CBD. Similar to the nearby suburbs of Birkdale and Wellington Point, it offers majestic ocean views of Waterloo Bay and Moreton Bay providing easy access to fishing and boating facilities. The suburb forms part of the Redland Shire, a region with a rapidly growing population. Although expected to grow by 40,000 within the next 10 years, the Redland Shire is family-orientated with about 80 per cent of residents either owning or purchasing their home. The majority of housing in Thorneside is detached residential, although in recent years an increased number of townhouses have been constructed in close vicinity to the train station. In addition to the extensive esplanade facing the ocean, Thorneside is well served by parks including the substantial William Taylor Sportsground, home to many local sporting clubs. The Thorneside shopping centre provides most conveniences for the suburb with a sub-regional shopping centre located in the adjoining suburb of Birkdale. Like other bay side suburbs, Thorneside is changing as couples and new families attracted by the bay lifestyle move to the area. Its appeal is centred on the peaceful nature of Thorneside and its bay-side location, while remaining within commuting distance of the Brisbane CBD. Source: REIQ
