Russell Island is the largest island within Moreton
Bay and spanning 8.5 kilometres, north to south, in length and 3 kilometres wide. Known to
the natives as Canaipa - meaning an ironbark spear, the island was first settled by
Europeans in 1866 and became a prolific farming area, due to its rich red soil and clean
quality fresh water for producing quality fruit and vegetables, as well as oyster leases,
fishing and commercial mud crabbing.
Today the resident population is estimated around 2,500 people, plus many more part time
residents, as many of the homes are owned as holiday homes. Russell Island with ongoing
road improvements and island services continues to grow in population as people discover
the affordable value and lifestyle advantages.
The Early 70's Land Subdivisions.
During the 1970’s all the Islands reputations suffered as no local authority controlled
development on the islands and unscrupulous land developers commenced promoting and
selling off some land lots that were drainage affected or subject to by high tides
inundation. The Redland Shire Council has since stepped in, acquired the low lying land
and set it aside under conservation purposes. This has reduced the amount of premium
island land and no further land sub-division will become available under current zoning –
which means that once sold, and with continuing demand, fuelled by both the affordability
of island land and the population increase into S. E. Queensland, Russell Island land will
become a precious and sought after commodity. Testament to this is the growth of land
values recently experienced in island land sales during the last two years.
Location
Moreton Bay is a vast Marine Park with some 365 islands dotted throughout
and is regarded as the ‘Whitsundays’ of South Eastern Queensland.
Situated between Brisbane and the Gold Coast and located within southern Moreton Bay,
between the mainland city of Redland Bay and beautiful North Stradbroke Island, Russell
Island gives stunning views overlooking the Caniapa passage which at its closest is just
300 metres away.
The Caniapa Passage waterway was the original thoroughfare for sailing vessels and
steamboats travelling from north to south of the Bay. Nowadays it's a favoured protected
anchorage for sailing craft and motor boats of all sizes.
Russell Island has to be one of South East Queensland's best kept secrets. A 20 minute
ferry ride (runs every half hour) across protected waters to Redland Bay township on the
mainland, and just 40 minutes by road to Brisbane CBD; with the ever-expanding
cosmopolitan city of the Gold Coast 45 minutes drive away, and is within 15 - 20 minutes
by boat from the island to the northern Gold Coast, Tipplers and Jumpinpin Bar.
Island Services & Facilities:
Ferry -
The Best Water Taxi Service in Queensland
Importantly transport to Russell Island and adjacent
Bay Islands is excellent. Running from early morning to late into the evening. Modern
passenger ferries, that seat up to 180 and run up to 38 times a day from Redland Bay, and
vehicle ferries service the islands around 15 times per day from Redland Bay. - There is
also a proposed, future ferry service for the Bay Islands linking to the centre of
Brisbane city.
Russell Island is virtually self-sufficient...
In addition to ferries and water taxis there is also a taxi service and helipad on the
island, and mooring and anchorage facilities are available for boats.
The island has lovely picnic areas, playgrounds and parks, sports oval and swimming areas
and market gardens. A tennis court is for hire, a Community Centre for island activities,
including Girl Guides and Playgroup. The licensed Bowls Club and RSL Club both have a
courtesy bus. (A Golf Club, a Resort and Hotel are proposed for future development.)
Russell Island boasts a new Police Station (The rate
of crime on the island is well below that of equivalent suburbs on the mainland) There is
an Ambulance Station and volunteer rescue and Rural Fire Brigade Station, a new 25 metre
public Swimming Pool and new Supa IGA Supermarket and specialty shops. On the Island most
trades and services and retailers are represented including Post Office, Library,
Broadband & Computer services, Service Station & Garage, Motel, an historic Church Hall, a
Gym & Sports instruction, a Primary School (a State High School is also coming) Medical
Centre & Chemist, Hairdresser, Bakery, Café & Take-away, Grocery & General / Convenience
stores and Russell Island Liquor Store.
All land approved for building homes on Russell Island is zoned Residential ‘A’. Having
council services for rubbish collection, town water and electricity supplied. The quality
of the island roads varies from island roads to gravel and sealed bitumen and concrete.
Council has a works programme in place to upgrade them to sealed roads as the take up of
housing demands. As no sewerage is yet connected to the island all waste disposal is via
septic or environmental systems installed at the time of building.
Lifestyle Features & Benefits:
Russell Island boasts a sub-tropical climate, an idyllic island lifestyle
that allows year-round swimming and cooling sea breezes in summer, the average winter
temperature ranges from 11 to 21 degrees and in summer 18 to 28 degrees Celsius. This is
truly one of South East Queensland’s best kept secrets.
Enjoy fishing and crabbing, boating, sailing and kayaking – You can go island hoping in a
kayak and swim with the local dolphins! The Island’s surrounding waterways teem with fish
life (prized for its mud-crabs) dolphins, turtles and dugong. Also impressive is the
birdlife population that includes black swans and thousands of other migratory birds.
Russell Island has its own National park, environmental protected areas, wetlands and
parklands where native flora and fauna abounds, a favourite for nature walks, cycling and
picnicking.
Living the Island life boasts panoramic views across Moreton Bay, Stradbroke Island to the
east and south towards the Gold Coast skyline. Located just 17 minutes by ferry from the
mainland and twenty minutes by boat to the Gold Coast Shire, Russell Island provides a
safe haven, whilst allowing the best of both worlds at your doorstep.
Moreton Bay is full of beautiful islands, beaches,
coral, rocky reefs and seagrass beds. Amazingly, Moreton Bay Marine Park is one of the
only places in the world where significant populations of dugongs and turtles can still be
found close to a major city. Currently about 16% of Moreton Bay Marine Park is fully
protected in “green zones” or “Protection Zones” where wildlife is safe from harm.
