About Dayboro
Dayboro is a charming rural town in the City of Moreton Bay, Queensland, nestled in a valley approximately 47 km north-west of Brisbane CBD. With a population of around 2,376 across a spacious 16.2 square kilometres, it retains a distinctly country-town feel. The demographic skews toward families aged 40 to 59, with a very high owner-occupier rate of 87%, indicative of its appeal as a settled, acreage-lifestyle community.
Dayboro offers a semi-rural lifestyle with a tight-knit community atmosphere centred around its historic main street, which features the heritage-listed Crown Hotel, local cafés, and weekend markets. The area is popular with families and hobby farmers seeking larger blocks and a quieter pace of life while remaining within commuting distance of Brisbane's northern suburbs. Surrounding bushland, horse trails, and the nearby Lake Samsonvale provide abundant outdoor recreation.
Dayboro falls under postcode 4521 and is governed by Moreton Bay Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Pine Rivers electorate.
