The suburb of Morayfield is located within Caboolture, in the Moreton Bay shire, about 40 kilometres north of Brisbane's CBD. Morayfield is the area's main retail and commercial hub that was once farmland and sugar cane fields ensuring that many of the suburb's homes - which are usually about 10 to 15 years old - have acreages. The majority of land use in the region is for detached suburban housing, although there are acreage properties and a small industrial precinct. While the suburb has a wide variety of established housing ranging from older weatherboard homes on timber stumps and renovated Queenslanders and Colonials to newer brick and tile houses, more recent house and land packages developments are also proving popular with young families. The region is also popular with investors given its affordability and its location on the major transport route of the Bruce Highway. Caboolture is an established area boasting many private and government services including schools, a public and private hospital and health centre, police, retirement home and even a historical museum. Residents in the area - mostly families - have access to a number of parks and outdoor leisure facilities including the Alexander Barr Sporting Complex, the Caboolture Showground Reserve - where a very popular Sunday market is held - a golf course, and local picnic/park areas.

In 1868 Brisbane man George Raff bought some of the land held by the failed Caboolture Cotton Company, calling it "Moray Field", derived from Raff's native Morayshire in Scotland. It was often written as "Morayfields" and, from 1881, became "Morayfield". Until the mid-1980s, Morayfield remained a rural area consisting of a small dairy holding and small crop farming enterprises. However, with the population pressure caused by the rapid growth of the greater Brisbane area, it has since suffered to some degree from random or unplanned residential development and rapid population growth. It is a thriving retail and service industry commercial center. Greg Norman is currently involved in a large-scale plan to radically alter the eastern fringes of Morayfield, with land to the east of the Bruce Highway and south of the Caboolture River is to be turned into medium density residential lots. In January 2011 parts of Morayfield were flooded during the 2010-2011 Queensland floods. Source: Wikipedia
