Profile
Beenleigh is located approximately 35 kilometres south of
Brisbane's CBD. Originally from Devon, England, the name
Beenleigh can be traced back to 1864 when the first farm
was established in the area. Although once completely
separated from Brisbane and the Gold Coast, the advancing
urban sprawl has almost engulfed Beenleigh with the highway
to Brisbane almost completely developed on both sides.
Located next to the Pacific Highway and benefiting from a
major railway station, Beenleigh attracts many commuters who
are willing to travel but choose not to pay the higher
housing prices that are achieved closer to the Brisbane CBD.
As the commuter belt between Brisbane and the Gold Coast
continues to expand, Beenleigh is well poised to gain from a
decreasing supply of land in the region and the attraction
of living in an area, which still retains a local community
spirit.
The area is serviced with a central shopping precinct and
the Logan Hyperdome located about five minutes drive north
on the Pacific Highway.
Educational facilities in Beenleigh include local primary
and high schools, while recreational activities aren't hard
to come by with numerous recreational parks along with the
Beenleigh Showgrounds.
