Brisbane East SA4 is the eastern portion of the Brisbane City Council area and stretches along the coast down towards Redland Bay, encompassing the entirety of Redland City Council. It consists of established Brisbane suburbs and Redland coastal suburbs.

There are suburban areas outside of the Brisbane CBD, and new suburban communities are emerging through greenfield estates along the Redland Bay coast. Pockets of development occur along transport corridors such as Cleveland or Wynnum Centre.
