About Brookfield
Brookfield is a semi-rural residential suburb located approximately 15 kilometres west of Brisbane's CBD, within the Brisbane City Council area. With a population of 3,640 and a median age of 47, it attracts established families and professionals seeking a quieter lifestyle without straying too far from the city. Median household income is well above the Queensland average, reflecting the suburb's desirable acreage properties and spacious character. The suburb sits at a gentle elevation in the western suburbs corridor, bordered by Kenmore and Fig Tree Pocket.
Brookfield is renowned for its horse properties, hobby farms, and lush bushland setting — a rare find within Brisbane City Council boundaries. The Brookfield General Store and local showgrounds are community focal points, with the annual Brookfield Show a beloved tradition. Families appreciate the highly regarded Brookfield State School and proximity to private schools at Kenmore and Indooroopilly. The suburb is car-dependent, with city buses connecting to Indooroopilly and the inner west, while the Western Freeway offers straightforward access to the CBD.
Brookfield falls under postcode 4069 and is governed by Brisbane Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Moggill electorate.
