Morayfield

Morayfield is a suburb and township located in the Moreton Bay Region of Queensland. Though most of the area is mostly residential, visitors will find most of what they need in the local shopping centres and commercial areas.

It’s well worth a visit to have a peek at what it’s like living in a beautiful residential town on the Sunshine Coast.

The town was primarily rural until the mid-1980s, with most locals making money from dairy and crop farming. When the greater Brisbane area began to see massive growth, especially population and development, some of it spilled over, and today it’s a thriving retail and commercial centre.

Morayfield has everything, and it’s conveniently located near a train station, as well as not far from beaches, hospitals, pubs, playgrounds, shopping centres, and so much more. This suburb is highly recommended for individuals, couples, or families exploring moving to the Sunshine Coast as the real estate offers terrific value for money. At the same time, you can enjoy a high quality of life being close to so many recreational options. It simply ticks all the boxes for homeowners.

There are a few heritage structures in town as well. The Oakland Sugar Mill is one of them, and here visitors can find the remnants of an old sugar cane mill established in 1865. Also known as the Whish’s Sugar Mill Remnants, you’ll find interesting artefacts that depict the agriculture history of the region that tells the important story of the sugar industry in Queensland.

Another is the Morayfield State School, built in 1873, and the Morayfield Plantation, built in 1866. For all your shopping needs, look no further than the Morayfield Shopping Centre, which has got all your shopping needs covered, including food, jewellery, health, beauty, footwear, and a range of services.

Morayfield is one of the best suburbs in Queensland, so be sure to check it out.
