Investment thesis

What this LGA is for
Bayside precinct of Greater Brisbane spanning two LGAs: northern suburbs (Wynnum, Wynnum West, Manly, Lota) sit inside Brisbane City LGA, southern suburbs (Cleveland, Ormiston, Wellington Point, Thornlands, Victoria Point, Redland Bay) sit inside Redland LGA. Stretches from Wynnum in the north to Redland Bay in the south, overlooking Moreton Bay. Redland LGA GRP $8.01 billion (FY24, +2.2% YoY); Brisbane City LGA GRP $168 billion (+1.6% YoY). Major infrastructure: $300 million Redland Hospital upgrade, new Whitewater rafting centre at Birkdale (2032 Olympics venue). Wynnum benefits from proximity to Brisbane Airport, Port of Brisbane and Australia TradeCoast precinct. Solid yields and rising demand have lifted this corridor to an established investor market.
