The area enjoys good infrastructure with 5 schools (2 state and 3 private), 6 retirement villages, and the local shopping centre is also home to numerous retail establishments, restaurants, library and a cinema complex.
Victoria Point falls within the local Government jurisdiction of Redland City, which covers over 530 square kilometres of mainland and islands on Moreton Bay. The mainland area includes Thorneside, Birkdale and Wellington Point in the north, Mt Cotton and Redland Bay in the south, Capalaba, Alexandra Hills and Sheldon in the west and Ormiston, Thornlands, Victoria Point and Cleveland in the east.

The region enjoys a sub-tropical climate most of the year. The prevailing winds come from the south-east and May – September is generally drier than October – April.
