Scotts Rd is on one of the highest parts of Macleay Is. Most homes are owner-occupied and it's a 'quiet area'. Much of the road is sealed and many of the blocks are 800sqm and face North/South. An easy 4-7 minute walk to the Golf Club, 10 minute walk to the Ferry, Shops, Restaurant, School, Childcare centre, Park/Water, Community Centres, Library & Pub. The council plan to put in a recreation area opposite the western end of Scotts Rd in the future.

Macleay Island is so close to Brisbane and the Gold Coast, yet a world of it's own. The low cost of housing offsets the travel costs. One can literally get to Brisbane CBD from their doorstep in 90 mins if they have a car on the mainland and a scooter or second car on the island (one can get reduced 'Island' rego).
Most homes on Macleay are high and dry to my knowledge so one doesn't need flood insurance! The Southern Moreton Bay Islands are built for rain to runoff.

We have a Spar, Foodworks, Butcher, Bakery, Childcare centre, Primary School, Boat/Sailing Club, Bowls and Golf Club, Pub with TAB, Restaurant, Takeaway with great fresh seafood, Pizza Shop, Arts Centre, Taxi, Video shop, Hairdresser, GP's, Dentist, Computer shops, Bank, Post Office, Vet, Pet Shop, Ambulance/Helipad, Police station, Fire station, Karma Carpentry,Tai Chi/yoga/pilates, Community Centre with many consultants/services etc, etc!!!
