Macleay Island, Administrative division in Redland City, Australia

Macleay Island extends 6.5 kilometers in length and 4 kilometers in width, making it the fourth largest island within Moreton Bay, Queensland.

The island received its name from Alexander Macleay, Colonial Secretary of New South Wales, replacing its earlier designation as Tim Shea's Island in the 1800s.

The Quandamooka people maintain strong connections to this territory, with several heritage-listed sites including Thompson's Point and traditional gathering locations across the island.

Regular passenger ferries and vehicle barges connect the island to mainland terminals at Redland Bay, providing transportation services for residents and visitors throughout the day.

A causeway links Macleay Island to neighboring Perulpa Island, while multiple boat ramps facilitate access to Moreton Bay waters for fishing and recreational activities.
