| Commentary |
Bridgeman Downs is a relatively new outer northern suburb of Brisbane, nearly 13 km from the CBD, which in recent years has raised its profile by transforming areas of open forest country to up-market contemporary housing, especially on large estates.
Surrounded by the suburbs of Aspley, McDowall and Albany Creek, Bridgeman Downs contains a wide variety of land uses including suburban allotments, acreage properties, retirement homes and the Albany Creek Memorial Gardens. With some of the native vegetation still visible from the main roads, visitors to the suburb often remark on the rural atmosphere that Bridgeman Downs has successfully retained from earlier times when the area was used for cattle grazing.
The continuing release of new residential land in stages adjoining the Becketts Road precinct has caused a marked population increase.
The suburb has good access out of Brisbane to the Sunshine Coast via the Bruce Highway. It has good bus transport services to the CBD and is a five-minute drive away from Carseldine Railway Station.
The area is well serviced with the Hypermarket Shopping Centre, Chermside Shopping Complex, various cinema, clubs and restaurants.
