Download coordinates as: Kippa-Ring is a suburb in the City of Moreton Bay, Queensland, Australia.
[1] Kippa-Ring is located in the centre of the Redcliffe Peninsula, 2.9 kilometres (1.8 mi) by road west of Redcliffe and 31.5 kilometres (19.6 mi) by road north-north-east of Brisbane, the state capital.
Designated as the commercial, retail and financial centre for the Redcliffe region, Kippa-Ring houses the bulk of the commercial and retail sectors on the peninsula including the largest shopping centres.
Notably, the swampy land in the north of the suburb was referred to as the 'Kippering Swamp' or 'Kippering Flats' – later to become a part of the canal development of Newport.
Until the 1950s and 1960s, Kippa-Ring was largely undeveloped, with most of the land being used for farming or small scale commercial use.
Kippa-Ring Shopping Centre was bought in 2012 to be completely redeveloped resulting in the addition of a Target and new Woolworths alongside 40 specialty stores.
Though the centres are owned by two different entities, they have been designed to accommodate easy pedestrian access between the two, including escalators and various staircases.
[15] Peninsula Fair underwent a minor renovation in 2017 to modernise the facades, seating and a complete paintwork of the building.
The suburb contains a small industrial area close to the shopping centres, which is a significant employment hub for the Peninsula.
