Redcliffe Fire Station, Fire station in Redcliffe, Australia.
Redcliffe Fire Station is a two-story brick building at 395 Oxley Avenue that combines traditional fire station elements with residential space on the lower level and operational areas above. The structure houses equipment storage, maintenance facilities, and personnel accommodations.
The station was built between 1948 and 1949, marking Redcliffe's transition from a holiday destination to a residential center following the completion of the Hornibrook Bridge. This project was part of the infrastructure development that supported the area during that expansion period.
The structure displays post-World War II architectural style with classical details that differ from standard Brisbane fire stations, reflecting local building practices of that era.
The location is centrally situated in Redcliffe and easily accessible on foot, with ample parking nearby. The surroundings offer a pleasant environment for exploring the neighborhood and local amenities.
Following its closure, the building was transformed in 2015 by Moreton Bay Regional Council into a community center for arts activities and volunteer work. This change of purpose gave the historic site new meaning for the local community.
