North Facing Bush Block.
68 Simpson Dr. Russell Island Qld 4184 LOT 79 on RP 132856 (UBD 268, H12)
Location: The block is located at the South Western tip of Russell Island, 6.9km to the main boat ramp and jetty for the ferry service, and 6.6km to the main shops and primary school.
Rocky Point is the most favoured location for a bridge or a new vehicle ferry, which would give fast vehicle access to both the Gold Coast and Brisbane CBD. There are current plans under discussion at the Redland Shire to put a barge service in within the next 2 years.
The Redland Shire prepared a Property Assessment recently, which indicates a house with 4 bedrooms can be built on the block. The trenches could be extended for a 5 bedroom house if need be.
Description: A level block with regenerating bush.
Area: 620m2
Price $48,000 neg

The block is circled. 2 adjoining Redland Shire owned blocks are zoned community purposes. Dark green areas are zoned Conservation. This is the largest conservation zone on the island and covers about 1.5 square Kilometres.
The block is fairly flat (11.5m to 12m above sea level).

This is where a new barge service is planned to arrive from the mainland. In the middle distance you can see Little Rocky Point on the Mainland 2k away. On the left in distance you can see Cabbage Tree Point. To the right is the mouth of the Logan River.
The green areas are zoned for conservation and roads will not be built there. The pink areas are designated for mainly residential development, with some pockets of conservation here too.
