About Alberton

Alberton is a semi-rural locality in the City of Gold Coast, situated approximately 13 kilometres east of Beenleigh and 45 kilometres south-south-east of Brisbane's CBD. With a population of 547 at the 2021 census, the area retains a distinctly rural character despite its position on the fringe of the fast-growing south-east Queensland corridor. Alberton is notable for its expansive sugarcane fields, which stretch along Cane Farm Road and the nearby lowlands between Beenleigh and the Logan River estuary.

Alberton offers a quiet, semi-rural lifestyle within commuting reach of both Brisbane and the Gold Coast, making it appealing to those who want space and a country feel without straying far from urban services. The nearby Eagleby and Beenleigh centres provide shopping, dining, and schools, while the motorway network gives relatively easy access to both CBDs. The locality sits within a growth zone of the Gold Coast's northern fringe, with future residential development anticipated as infrastructure continues to expand in the region.

Alberton falls under postcode 4207 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Macalister electorate.
