About Glenview

Glenview is a rural locality in the Sunshine Coast Region of Queensland, located about 90 kilometres north of Brisbane. With a population of around 1,400 across nearly 19 square kilometres, it is a spacious, green suburb partly defined by the Mooloolah River along its western boundary. The area has experienced steady growth as the Sunshine Coast expands, attracting residents who want rural acreage within reach of coastal amenities.

Life in Glenview revolves around the outdoors—with over a third of the suburb covered by parkland, residents enjoy a lush hinterland setting just minutes from the beaches of Caloundra and Mooloolaba. The well-regarded local primary school and school bus services to secondary schools make it popular with families. Under an hour to Brisbane Airport and close to the growing Sunshine Coast University precinct, Glenview suits families, hobby farmers, and professionals seeking a relaxed Sunshine Coast lifestyle on larger blocks.

Glenview falls under postcode 4553 and is governed by Sunshine Coast Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Caloundra electorate.
