Sunnybank is an outer southern Brisbane suburb that grew rapidly during the 1960s and is today a thriving community.
This elevated leafy modern suburb is located 14 kilometres south of Brisbane's central business district. It is also one of Brisbane's largest suburbs in terms of population.
The suburb boasts its own private hospital and railway station. It is also close to the Nathan campus of Griffith University and the world-class ANZ Stadium.
Sunnybank housing styles tend to be about 25 years old low set and high set brick. There are also timber homes. Ex-housing commission weatherboard post-war homes dating back to the original settlement are also available.
The suburb has grown significantly over the past 20 years. The catalyst for much of the growth was the construction of the Southeast Freeway to Mains Road during the late 1970s, which resulted in Sunnybank Hills being easily accessible to the Brisbane's central business district.
The suburb is serviced by several shopping centres, which include the extensive Sunnybank Hills Shopping Town. Several primary schools, a state high school and a city council library are some of the other community facilities that also service the suburb.
There are regular Cityexpress services to the Brisbane CBD and the northern portion of the suburb is serviced by the Citytrain rail service at Sunnybank station.
According to the 2006 Census there were 7,845 people living in the suburb with a median age of 35. The median individual income was $369 per week. Of all occupied private dwellings 64.9% were either fully owned or being purchased; 27.3% were being rented.
