Commentary	Approximately 30 minutes from the Brisbane CBD, Wakerley is located on the outskirts of Manly and Manly West. A family oriented suburb the area contains considerable parkland, barbecue and picnic spots. Melaleuca Environmental Park is also close to Wakerley as is Moreton Bay for those who fancy a lifestyle by the water. For lovers of the game there are also golf courses and driving ranges in the area. Wakerley is popular with younger families looking for housing close to modern facilities and the bay area. Newer prestige developments have been built in the suburb recently. Like its neighbouring suburb of Ransome, Wakerley is a sparsely populated suburb, made up of a mix of commercial and residential developments as well as some small farms. Of the residential housing in the area the majority is single unit dwellings (houses) with very few unit/townhouse complexes. Public transport in the area is difficult. While there are some bus services available personal transport is better due to the spread out nature of the suburb. The Brisbane domestic and international airports, and the Gold and Sunshine coasts are easily accessible via the convenient Gateway Motorway. Neighbouring bayside suburbs provide facilities such as schools (Wondall Heights Primary School, Manly West Primary School, Manly Primary School, Wynnum High School, Lota Primary School, Moreton Bay College, Wynnum West Primary School) and hospitals (Whites Road Wynnum Hospital) for residents in Wakerley.
