About Caboolture

Caboolture is the major service centre of Brisbane's northern fringe, a growing city-suburb of nearly 30,000 located 44 kilometres north of the CBD in the Moreton Bay region. The rail line provides direct city access, while the Bruce Highway connects to both Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast. The suburb retains some country-town character despite significant growth.

The town offers genuine affordability that's increasingly rare in Southeast Queensland, with shopping, healthcare, and services supporting a broad regional catchment. The hospital, TAFE, and diverse employment base provide local jobs. Caboolture attracts first-home buyers, young families, and those seeking affordable entry to the Queensland property market with reasonable city access.

Caboolture falls under postcode 4510 and is governed by Moreton Bay Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Pumicestone electorate.
