Queensland's rules in short. Moreton Bay firms are covered by the same Queensland legislation and conduct rules as Brisbane's, including the Personal Injuries Proceedings Act limits on what a firm's own website can say about injury claims and the QLS marketing guidelines for Accredited Specialists. Our Brisbane lawyers page explains both, with links to the official sources. This section is about the city itself.
One city, three former councils. The council was formed in March 2008 from the City of Redcliffe and the Shires of Pine Rivers and Caboolture, each of which still has a Magistrates Court of its own, and it was renamed the City of Moreton Bay in July 2023. The ABS estimated 532,445 residents at June 2025, the council describes it as Australia's third-largest local government by population, and it expects about another 200,000 people over the next 20 years. People search by town, so “lawyer Redcliffe” and “solicitor Strathpine” are separate searches, and your pages should use the names of the places you actually serve.
Courts. Queensland Courts lists Caboolture Magistrates Court at 30 King Street, Redcliffe Magistrates Court at 193 Redcliffe Parade and Pine Rivers Magistrates Court at 374 Gympie Road, Strathpine. Murri Court, where Community Justice Groups bring Elders and Respected Persons to court, also sits at Caboolture. There is no District or Supreme Court registry in the city; both are at the QEII Courts of Law at 415 George Street in Brisbane, and the Federal Circuit and Family Court's registry is at 119 North Quay.
Property, growth and flooding. Queensland's seller disclosure scheme began on 1 August 2025 under the Property Law Act 2023. The seller's statement (Form 2) covers title, encumbrances, zoning, pools and certain notices, but the Queensland Government notes that flooding history isn't required. City of Moreton Bay offers Flood Check property reports showing its flood information for a lot, including river, creek, storm tide and overland flow flooding. A buyer's page that mentions Flood Check, in your own words and without giving advice on the page itself, is useful in a city with many waterways and new estates.
The local profession, and how we work. The Moreton Bay Law Association is one of QLS's district law associations; if your solicitors are members, their profiles can say so. We're an Adelaide team at Ste 3/110 Hutt St and work with practices outside South Australia by phone and email. We haven't built a site for a Moreton Bay law firm. Our Queensland clients include M.J. Debney Plumbing & Gas and Queensland Dance & Performing Arts on Brisbane's Bayside.
