Wakerley

Postcode: 4154 | Distance to CBD: 15 km

Welcome to Wakerley

Wakerley is one of Brisbane's less developed suburbs with a lot of remaining bushland and parks but new developments springing up all the time.

Residents depend mostly on the services provided by the nearby suburbs of Wynnum, Manly and Gumdale. Mayfair Village in Manly Road and Eastside Village at Gumdale are popular neighbouring shopping centres.

Apart from Moreton Bay itself, another favourite local attraction is the large Melaleuca Environmental Park accessible from Clifton Street, Manly West. The park's inhabitants include koalas and bandicoots as well as many bird species.

Statistics

Stand alone houses account for 99% of all dwellings in this area so if you’re after a townhouse or unit lifestyle, this probably isn’t the area for you.

Nathan says: For those of you who don't know Wakerley, it is a small suburb located next to Manly on Brisbane's bayside. I love it because it has a nine-hole golf course, small lake, Dianthus Street parks, wildlife and the community spirit that abounds in all the residents.
